title: Computed tomographic diagnosis of ureteral obstruction secondary to aneurysmal disease.
abstract: Three cases of ureteral obstruction associated with aortoiliac aneurysms were studied with computed tomography. CT was able to document the presence of aneurysm and display the perianeurysmal, fibrotic, contrast-enhancing mass accounting for ureteral obstruction. The value of computed tomography in the diagnosis and evaluation of these cases is described.
