Spontaneous renal pelvis and ureter rupture
is rare. In our study we reported a 63 year old male patient who had no
previous any history of urological operation and urinary system stone.
He had right
flank pain. In the non contrast computerized tomography(CT) one
milimeter(mm) stone was detected in the
right distal ureter. Grade 1 Hydronephrosis was present in the right renal
pelvis. 24 hours later, patient had increasing pain and acute abdominal pain.
Contrast enhanced CT was performed and spontaneous renal pelvis rupture
secondary to 1 mm distal ureter stone was detected. Retrograde ureteral double
J stent was inserted into the right ureter. The patient responsed dramatically
to this intervention.
Spontaneous ureter rupture may ocur with acute
abdominal pain symptoms. After making differential diagnosis, dramatical
responses are available with immediate minimal invasive treatment methods
