title: [Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis].
abstract: The authors, on the basis of a case recently observed dwell upon the natural history, the etiopathogenesis, and diagnosis of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis. After confirming that medical therapy may be successful in selected cases only, different surgical procedures are analysed. It is concluded that outcome and prognosis of these subjects depend on early diagnosis.
