Article Synopsis
- Pelvic herniation of the ureter through musculoskeletal foramina is a rare cause of ureteric obstruction, often discovered incidentally during surgery.
- The variant involving herniation through the sciatic foramen can lead to severe complications like sepsis or renal failure if not quickly diagnosed and treated.
- The diagnosis is complicated due to vague symptoms and subtle imaging signs, prompting a literature review to clarify its clinical features and improve recognition among healthcare providers.
