Ureteroiliac fistula: a case report review of the literature

INTRODUCTION: Ureteroiliac fistulas are rare but potentially life-threatening. Risk factors to develop a fistula are chronic indwelling ureteral stents, previous pelvic surgery and radiotherapy. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a patient with intermittent gross hematuria after previous abdomin...

description INTRODUCTION: Ureteroiliac fistulas are rare but potentially life-threatening. Risk factors to develop a fistula are chronic indwelling ureteral stents, previous pelvic surgery and radiotherapy. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a patient with intermittent gross hematuria after previous abdominal surgery, radiotherapy and indwelling ureteric stents. After several diagnostic and therapeutic procedures an ureteroiliac fistula could be finally identified and treated by endovascular stenting. CONCLUSION: Ureteroiliac fistula should be considered in any patient with intermittent gross hematuria and any of the known risk factors.
