Abstract

Diagnosis and treatment of ureteral obstruction secondary to perianeurysmal retroperitoneal fibrosis are controversial. Diagnosis includes the use of computed tomography and abdominal ultrasound, surgical treatment combines prosthetic graft with preoperative ureteral stenting. Ureterolysis is not always necessary, because aneurysm repair promotes resolution of the inflammatory process and relieves the ureteric obstruction. However radiologic survey is essential as in the case report.
