Retrocaval ureter associated with cryptorchidism: A case report and review of literature

Clin Case Rep. 2018 Jul 1;6(8):1592-1594. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1670. eCollection 2018 Aug.

Abstract

We report an incidentally diagnosed retrocaval ureter in a 14-year-old boy, while evaluating for right-sided hydronephrosis associated with cryptorchidism. Therefore, we suggest that any significant right-sided hydronephrosis associated with cryptorchidism may require investigations to exclude this rare anomaly.

Keywords: circumcaval ureter; cryptorchidism; pyelo‐pyelotomy; retrocaval ureter; uretero‐ureterotomy; venous anomaly.
