title: [Retrotendinous ureter. An exceptional cause of obstruction in the upper urinary tract].
abstract: Retrotendineus ureter is an exceptional anomaly presenting, in our experience, without clinical signs of urinary infection and obstruction. The radiological diagnosis was retrocaval ureter. The Authors report a case of a 9 years old boy who was successfully treated by ureteral section, excision of the obstructed ureteral segment and uretero-ureteral anastomosis. It seems that the case is the first reported in the medical literature of this anomaly.
