  • Title: Development of anuria after appendectomy in a patient with a distal ureteral stone in a single kidney.
    Author: Kwon JH, Hwang EM, Choi BS, Kim YS, Bang BK, Yang CW.
    Journal: Yonsei Med J; 2007 Feb 28; 48(1):139-41. PubMed ID: 17326259.
    Abstract:
    The development of anuria after appendectomy is usually related to complications associated with appendicitis or with the surgical sequelae of appendectomy. We report an unusual case of anuria after appendectomy in a 20-year-old woman. The patient was transferred to our hospital due to a sudden cessation of urine output just after appendectomy. We initially suspected that the anuria was caused by a complication of surgery. However, a review of her medical history and an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan revealed that a distal ureteral stone in a single kidney had caused the anuria. There are few cases in the literature regarding a distal ureteral stone in a single kidney. This case indicates the importance of radiological evaluation in the differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis, especially in patients with unilateral renal agenesis.
