title: [The circumcaval ureter--etiology, diagnosis and therapy].
abstract: The circumcaval course of the ureter can no more be regarded as a urological rarity. Primarily a disturbance of the development of veins in the 6th to 8th fetal week is present. A division in 2 forms of the course of the retrocaval ureter is possible. In addition to the pathologic course the type 1 still shows a disease of the precaval segment. The two forms are demonstrated with the help of own observations. According to the opinion of the authors the two types must be differentiated before operation and must be removed by different operation techniques. Associated malformations must be taken into consideration.
