[Unilateral essential hematuria: diagnostic and therapeutic attitude in 2 cases].
Unilateral essential haematuria is an unusual clinical entity where diagnosis is achieved by exclusion of other urological and nephrological conditions. The paper reports two female patients with unilateral anaemic macroscopic haematuria which were evaluated using flexible ureteropyeloscopy, and one also underwent percutaneous pyeloscopy. In one of the patients a renal papilla haemangioma was found which was fulgurated, while the lesion was not identified in the other patient, although neither of them has shown haematuria recurrence during the follow-up period. The authors believe that uretororrenoscopy and percutaneous nephroscopy should be considered in selected patients with unilateral essential haematuria due to its diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities.
