Perianeurysmal fibrosis and ureteric obstruction: case report and review of literature. 1982

R Rault, and W Kapoor, and W Kam

A case of ureteric obstruction due to perianeurysmal fibrosis is reported and the literature reviewed. Reports of 56 previous cases showed striking male predominance, the presenting symptoms being abdominal pain, flank pain and back pain with radiation to the groin or leg. Anuria occurred in 14.2%, and an abdominal mass was palpable in 45%. The pathogenesis and pathology of perianeurysmal fibrosis is discussed. The treatment of choice is bilateral ureterolysis and resection of the aneurysm, but in elderly, sick or uremic patients more limited procedures may be indicated.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D001806	Blood Urea Nitrogen	The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes.

D012185	Retroperitoneal Fibrosis	A slowly progressive condition of unknown etiology, characterized by deposition of fibrous tissue in the retroperitoneal space compressing the ureters, great vessels, bile duct, and other structures. When associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm, it may be called chronic periaortitis or inflammatory perianeurysmal fibrosis.

D014517	Ureteral Obstruction	Blockage in any part of the URETER causing obstruction of urine flow from the kidney to the URINARY BLADDER. The obstruction may be congenital, acquired, unilateral, bilateral, complete, partial, acute, or chronic. Depending on the degree and duration of the obstruction, clinical features vary greatly such as HYDRONEPHROSIS and obstructive nephropathy.
