Relapsing urinary ascites.
A 2-year-old boy was operated on for a left ureteral duplication with bilateral vesicoureteric reflux. Ten years later, he experienced two episodes of transient ascites following abdominal traumatism. A cystogram disclosed a peritoneal fistula. The fistulous orifice was localized by cystoscopy, and surgery was undertaken with success.
