  • Title: Bilateral complete ureteral obstruction secondary to an abdominal aortic aneurysm with perianeurysmal fibrosis: diagnosis by computed tomography.

    Abstract:
    The sixteenth case of bilateral ureteral obstruction with anuria secondary to an abdominal aortic aneurysm with perianeurysmal fibrosis is presented. The details of this case clearly indicate the need for a combined vascular and urologic approach to patients with this disorder. A complete preoperative evaluation, including excretory urography, retrograde pyeloureterography, aortography and, when indicated, venacavography, may determine renal and vascular abnormalities that will allow a more definitive and successful management of this difficult problem. Furthermore, we believe that the use of computed tomography is an invaluable tool to define this retroperitoneal disease process and its precise relationship to the ureters.
