Analgesic abuse, ureteric obstruction, and retroperitoneal fibrosis.

چکیده
We report two cases of unusual ureteric obstruction in patients with an excessive consumption of analgesics. In a retrospective survey of seven cases of non-malignant retroperitoneal fibrosis seen in the last 15 years it was found that four had taken excessive amounts of analgesics. A careful drug history should be taken in all patients with restroperitoneal fibrosis and ureteric obstruction.

Ureteric stricture with analgesic nephropathy.
Three patients with analgesic nephropathy are reported who, in addition to the accepted features of this syndrome, had dilatation of one or both upper urinary tracts due to ureteric or periureteric fibrosis without intraluminal obstruction. We attribute this lesion to analgesic abuse and suggest that any patient with unexplained ureteric fibrosis should be questioned about analgesic consumption...

It has been proposed that idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis may be a consequence of 'healed' retroperitoneal lesions of systemic Weber-Christian disease. However ureteric obstruction which is the hallmark of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis, has not been described in systemic Weber-Christian disease. We report a patient with systemic Weber-Christian disease who, during a relapse, developed...

Two patients who had acute pancreatitis subsequently developed characteristic appearance on urography of smooth extrinsic narrowing and medial deviation of the right ureter suggestive of retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) resulting in ureteric obstruction. Both these patients had clinical, biochemical and sonographic evidence of acute pancreatitis. CT scan of the abdomen performed on the second pat...
متن کاملUnilateral renal forniceal rupture - A rare presentation of retroperitoneal fibrosis
Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare inflammatory process associated with the development of extensive fibrosis around the abdominal aorta and surrounding retroperitoneal structures. The symptoms of RPF are often insidious and non-specific resulting in diagnostic delay with ensuing complications related to the progressive fibrotic deposition. A common complication of RPF is ureteric obstruc...
