    Abstract:
    Giant hydronephrosis is uncommon. Ureteropelvic obstruction represent the more frequent cause. In 1939, Stirling defined it as the presence of more than 1000 ml of fluid in the collecting system. The Authors report two cases with ureteropelvic obstruction causing giant hydronephrosis. The treatment includes pyeloplasty in the first case and nephrectomy in the second case.
