  • Title: Retrocaval ureter with stone in the retrocaval segment of the ureter.
    Author: Kanojia RP, Bawa M, Handu AT, Naredi BK, Menon P, Rao KL.
    Journal: Pediatr Surg Int; 2010 Aug; 26(8):863-5. PubMed ID: 20431890.
    Abstract:
    Retrocaval ureter is abnormal looping of the proximal ureter behind the inferior vena cava. The aberrant anatomy results in the compression of the ureter causing hydronephrosis. This is a very infrequent cause of hydronephrosis in children. Association of retrocaval ureter with a stone in the looping segment of the ureter is extremely rare. We report one such pediatric case which was diagnosed preoperatively with a review of pediatric-only cases reported in last 5 years.
