Clinical Case Reports

Abstract

As more cases of perianeurysmal retroperitoneal fibrosis causing ureteral entrapment are reported in the urological literature, it becomes evident that preoperative evaluation of the urological tract is extremely cogent not only to evaluate renal function, anatomy and distortion but also to decide whether ureterolysis need be added to the vascular surgical procedure.

Recently Friedel, Smith and Herman added a tenth case of perianeurysmal fibrosis to the world urological literature. Nearly simultaneously we were treating a patient with an abdominal aneurysm and mid-ureteral entrapment and would therefore like to add our case from the vascular surgeon's viewpoint.
