Upper moiety vascular ureteropelvic junction obstruction in an incomplete duplex kidney: A variant of the Fraley's syndrome?

Although duplication of the collecting system is fairly common, ureteropelvic junction obstruction of the upper moiety in a patient with duplex system is rare, more so if the obstruction is extrinsic and vascular. Herein, we report a case of obstruction of the upper moiety infundibulum by a crossing...

Sumario:Although duplication of the collecting system is fairly common, ureteropelvic junction obstruction of the upper moiety in a patient with duplex system is rare, more so if the obstruction is extrinsic and vascular. Herein, we report a case of obstruction of the upper moiety infundibulum by a crossing vein, in a patient with partially duplex system who presented with flank pain and focal hydronephrosis of the superior calyx, a clinical presentation similar to that of Fraley's syndrome. The infundibulum was transected and transposed anterior to the crossing vessel.
