Giant Fecaloma Leading to Bilateral Ureterohydronephrosis

چکیده
Symptomatic compression of the lower urinary tract because of constipation-induced fecal impactions is a rare condition. It is particularly seen in the elderly and in patients with limited mobilization and chronic dehydration caused by inadequate fluid intake. Among the reasons that can cause urinary tract obstruction, fecal impactions mimicking a pelvic mass effect should also be considered. In this study, we presented two cases of giant fecaloma leading to bilateral ureterohydronephrosis.
