Abstract
OBJETIVO: El uréter retrocavo es una patología poco frecuente debida a una alteración en el desarrollo embriológico de la vena cava inferior. Se manifiesta normalmente con clínica de obstrucción ureteral y el tratamiento en los casos sintomáticos, es quirúrgico. MÉTODO: Presentamos un caso clínico de uréter retrocavo y realizamos una revisión de la literatura. RESULTADOS: Paciente de 9 años que consulta por hematuria macroscópica. La Urografía intravenosa (UIV) sugiere el diagnóstico de uréter retrocavo derecho, lo que se confirma con estudio de resonancia magnética nuclear (RMN). Realizamos ureteroureterostomía y decruzamiento de vena cava inferior con buena evolución, confirmada por UIV. CONCLUSIONES: El uréter retrocavo es una anomalía fácilmente diagnosticable y con posibilidad de tratamiento eficaz. Debe evaluarse la posibilidad de otras malformaciones asociadas.
OBJECTIVE: Retrocaval ureter is a rare disease which is due to a abnormal development of the inferior cava vein. It usually presents with ureteral obstruction, and surgery is needed for symptomatic cases. METHOD: We present a case of retrocaval ureter and a revision of the literature. RESULTS: A 9 year-old boy who had consulted for macroscopic hematuria. The intravenous urography (IVU) suggested the diagnosis of retrocaval right ureter, which is confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Make us resection of the retrocaval segment and relocation of the ureter anterior to the inferior vena cava. Follow-up IVU showed good resolution of hydronephrosis. CONCLUSIONS: Retrocaval ureter is a rare disease, with easy diagnostic and effective treatment. Other associated anomalies could be associated.
