[A case of ureteral stenosis due to bilharziosis (author's transl)]. 1978

T Bouker, and Doré

Ureteral lesions due to biharziosis are often recognized as being associated with bilharziosis of the bladder, but they may sometimes appear to be primary in origin. In both cases, however, prognosis depends mainly on the manner in which the upper urinary tract is affected. The observation of a case of isolated ureteral stenosis due to bilharziosis, which appeared to be primary, is used as a base for reviewing recently acquired new data on this localization of these parasites which are rife in several areas in Tunisia.
