Spontaneous perforation of the ureter: a rare complication of urolithiasis.
The spontaneous rupture of the ureter is a rare condition. A case of a girl is reported with a spontaneous perforation caused by ureteral and renal calculi. The concomitant urinoma was drained and the ureter splinted with a double-J catheter. The calculi were destroyed by extracorporal piezoelectric lithotripsy without anesthesia.
