  • Title: Spontaneous rupture of a hydronephrotic kidney during pregnancy.
    Author: Dhabuwala CB, Riehle RA.
    Journal: Urology; 1984 Dec; 24(6):591-4. PubMed ID: 6390927.
    Abstract:
    Acute abdominal pain during pregnancy can be of urologic origin. Hydronephrosis of pregnancy can be complicated by symptomatic renal colic, pyelonephritis, and secondary renal abscess formation. In this report, rupture of a hydronephrotic kidney with retroperitoneal urinoma formation was treated by retroperitoneal drainage and internal ureteral until a term delivery was achieved. However, if severe renal hemorrhage accompanies renal rupture, surgical exploration of the kidney with partial or complete nephrectomy may be necessary.
