AI Article Synopsis
- Pelviureteric junction obstruction can result from both internal (intrinsic) and external (extrinsic) issues.
- The case discussed involves a unique situation where a large cyst near the kidney caused this obstruction in a kidney that was positioned abnormally (malrotated).
- The patient experienced ongoing flank pain, and doctors diagnosed the issue through imaging, ultimately treating the cyst with open surgery.
Article Abstract
Pelviureteric junction obstruction can be attributed to intrinsic and extrinsic pathologies. We report an unusual cause of pelviureteric junction obstruction due to a large parapelvic cyst in a malrotated kidney. The patient presented with intermittent flank pain. The diagnosis was arrived at following imaging. The cyst was managed by open surgery.

Extravasation of urine following forniceal rupture of a pelviureteric junction is a rare complication; the existence of pyonephrosis can result to retroperitoneal abscess but its fistulization into peritoneal cavity is exceptional. We report a case of a 22-year-old men who presented a clinical aspects of peritonitis, abdominal CT scan findings suggested retroperitoneal peritonitis by rupture of the fornix. This case emphasizes an unusual presentation of pyonephrosis with peritonitis and pyoperitoneum caused by a ureteropelvic junction syndrome.

Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is caused by compression of left renal vein (LRV), usually between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). This can lead to obstruction of flow into the inferior vena cava and secondary left renal venous hypertension. Despite potential serious consequences, diagnosing NCS is often challenging, circuitous and commonly delayed.
