  • Title: Primary uretero-iliac fistula: the unusual source of haematuria.
    Author: Khong TL, Winstanley V, Lee G, Christmas T, Ramsay J.
    Journal: Int Urol Nephrol; 2007; 39(3):751-3. PubMed ID: 17109202.
    Abstract:
    Uretero-iliac fistula is a rare cause of frank haematuria. The aetiology of such fistula is commonly iatrogenic. We present a unique case of a primary aorto-iliac fistula in the absence of an aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation. The diagnosis was demonstrated by ureteroscopy and real-time retrograde ureterogram. Multiple arterial embolisation of the fistula had failed, and the patient underwent a successful ureterolysis and ligation of fistula. We demonstrate the diagnostic difficulties and treatment dilemma of such rare cause of haematuria.
