title: Spontaneous (renal) pelvic rupture. Two cases cured by conservative therapy.
abstract: Two cases of spontaneous pelvic rupture are presented. In Case 1 (female, 49 years) and Case 2 (male, 63 years) the rupture was due to obstruction and tumorous compression of the ureter, respectively. Authors deal with the diagnostic difficulties and the possibility of a cure without open surgery. Conservative therapy (double-J ureteral catheter and pigtail catheter) was successful in both cases. The pertinent literature is briefly reviewed.
