Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) outcomes as a solo therapy in patients with upper ureteral calculi and varying degrees of hydronephrosis. Materials and Methods: Eighty patients with upper ureteral calculi and a body mass index between 19.5 kg/m2 and 22.5 kg/m2 were included. They were categorized into 4 groups according to the seve...

A 35-yr-old woman carrying a 17-week-old fetus presented with right hydronephrosis and a single umbilical artery. Karyotyping was normal and targeted ultrasonography showed an otherwise normal fetus. After 28 weeks of gestation, the mother felt rapid, repetitive fetal movement and an ultrasound at 30 weeks of gestation revealed tonic clonic movements of the fetal trunk and extremities. At 36 we...

A 37-year-old male was referred to our hospital due to an abnormal ultrasound report of the right kidney in a regular health examination. The patient was asymptomatic and did not report fever, flank pain or dysuria. Repeated ultrasonography at our hospital revealed a hypoechoic area in the right central renal sinus, suggesting right hydronephrosis, but the obstructive site could not be found (F...

INTRODUCTION Ureteral obstruction is a potentially serious complication after ureteroscopy. Postoperative imaging with intravenous urogram and CT has been described as a means to detect asymptomatic or "silent" obstruction. We sought to evaluate the use of renal ultrasound to diagnose hydronephrosis after ureteroscopy in a large, contemporary series. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of the 438 ureterosc...

INTRODUCTION Even though it is uncommon, uterine prolapse can cause compression of ureters and bilateral hydronephrosis, predisposing to arterial hypertension and renal failure. Hydronephrosis consequent to cystocele and to vaginal prolapse is even rarer. CASE REPORT This paper reports on a 59 year-old patient, Caucasian, obese and hysterectomized who presented complete vaginal prolapse with ...
