Abstract:
An unusual case of spontaneous intraperitoneal rupture of the ureter was observed in adult with acute renal pain. Diagnosis was best established with CT rather than intravenous urography. CT demonstrated ureteral leakage with the contrast medium extravasating into the peritoneal cavity. The patient was initially managed successfully by endourology. Secondary stenosis of the ureter required surgery for partial resection of the distal ureter.
