[Caliceal diverticula].
The Authors describe a case of calycial diverticulum which came under their observation, discussing the aetiopathogenetic and anatomopathological factors and the mechanisms supporting this pathological event. They conclude that it must be considered as of congenital origin and generally treated with conservative therapy, limiting the use of demolitive surgical therapy solely to cases of deep and diffused alteration of the kidney.
