title: Conservative treatment of acute Ormond's disease.
abstract: Ormond's disease is a chronic inflammatory process of the retroperitoneum, which sometimes takes a very acute course. We report the case of a man with acute bilateral hydronephrosis. Diagnosis was based on typical criteria seen by magnetic resonance imaging, which made biopsy unnecessary.
