We present a case of a 45-year-old female who experienced rupture of a right calyceal diverticulum caused by ureteroscopy. Fifteen hours after the operation, she had severe right flank pain and a high fever (38.9°C). Computed tomography revealed perinephric extravasation of urine and bleeding inside the diverticulum. We diagnosed rupture of a calyceal diverticulum; therefore, we continued antibiotic administration and pain relief medication. She became afebrile on postoperative day 4 and was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 7. Owing to renal cortex thinning in the diverticula, ureteroscopy is associated with a risk of rupture of calyceal diverticula.

Calyceal Rupture Secondary to Nephrolithiasis: A Case Report Emphasizing Early Diagnosis and Management.

Calyceal rupture, defined as the extravasation of urine from the renal calyces into the perinephric or paranephric spaces, typically results from increased intrapelvic pressure due to urinary tract obstruction. This condition can lead to the formation of a perinephric urinoma and severe complications, such as infection, abscess formation, and impaired renal function. Timely diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent these adverse outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- - Renal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal connections between renal arteries and veins, primarily caused by injuries, with arteriovenous fistulas making up 70%-80% of these cases, often asymptomatic but can cause hematuria if they rupture.
- - Diagnosis is primarily through angiography, but noninvasive imaging like ultrasound and CT scans are often used initially; most cases are managed conservatively, while symptomatic patients may require endovascular embolization or surgery.
- - A case study of a 32-year-old man post-motor vehicle accident illustrates the management challenges of renal AVMs, detailing his unsuccessful endovascular treatment followed by successful open fistula ligation, emphasizing the need for
A Spontaneous Renal Calyceal Rupture Mimicking Physiologic Changes of Pregnancy and Other Common Pathologies.

A spontaneous renal calyceal rupture in pregnancy is extremely rare and can be challenging to identify as its presentation can mimic other more common diagnoses, which can lead to a delay in management. Here, we describe an unusual case of renal calyceal rupture in a 24-year-old G2P0010 female with pregnancy at 26.5 weeks gestation age (WGA) who was admitted to the antepartum ward due to left flank pain and uterine contractions.

Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are an uncommon urologic congenital anomaly in males often discovered antenatally and more rarely after birth. PUV can lead to obstructive nephropathy and voiding dysfunction, putting patients at increased risk for irreversible renal damage and subsequent progression to end-stage renal disease. Much of the renal damage caused by PUV is proportional to the amount of time that the kidney has been experiencing retrograde pressure.
