Ureteral obstruction following acute pancreatitis.
A patient with hydronephrosis caused by extrinsic right ureteral obstruction due to extension of pancreatic inflammation is reported. At surgery, pyonephrosis was detected and nephrectomy had to be carried out. We recommend a careful ultrasonographic follow-up of all patients with acute pancreatitis for back pressure changes in the kidneys.
