This report delineates a unique instance of right renal vein entrapment in a 92-year-old male cadaver, identified during routine dissection.

However, rare congenital anomalies, such as a retrocaval ureter (RCU)-where the ureter passes behind the inferior vena cava- can also cause hydronephrosis. This case report describes an 11-year-old male presenting with right-sided flank pain and hematuria.

Instances of left retrocaval ureter without situs inversus or double IVC are rarely reported in the literature, and there are no cases presented sonographically.
