  • Title: Giant hydronephrosis presenting as unilateral iliofemoral vein thrombosis.
    Author: Aliotta PJ, Lacey SR, Allen JE, Greenfield SP.
    Journal: J Urol; 1988 May; 139(5):1035-6. PubMed ID: 3361637.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of left iliofemoral vein thrombosis with extension to the inferior vena cava associated with giant right hydronephrosis secondary to ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Surgery revealed marked infrarenal vena caval compression and deviation to the left side caused by the dilated right renal pelvis, with resultant kinking of the origin of the left iliac vein. It is postulated that the reduction in blood flow caused by this compression and distortion predisposed this patient to venous thrombosis.
