Background: The retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital anomaly resulting from abnormal development of the inferior vena cava. The obstruction is usually at the retrocaval segment of the ureter, as it lies between the inferior vena cava and the body of the third lumbar vertebra. Computed tomography intravenous urography is the gold standard for investigating this condition and can reveal ipsilateral hydronephrosis and the fishhook sign or sickle sign of the proximal ureter, depending on the type of retrocaval ureter.

Article Synopsis
- Primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common condition in children where urine flows backward from the bladder, leading to urinary tract infections and potential kidney damage.
- The primary goals for treating VUR in kids are to prevent UTIs and reduce the risk of kidney problems, with available management options including antibiotics, surveillance, and various surgical techniques.
- Ongoing debates focus on the timing of imaging tests and identifying which patients will benefit most from either antibiotics or surgical treatments, with new technologies like artificial intelligence offering future support in decision-making.
