title: [Lumbar pain and hydrocalyx].
abstract: The authors report the case of a patient presenting with disabling left lumbar pain. Complementary investigations confirmed the diagnosis of isolated hydrocalyx with no organic cause. Surgical treatment was conservative with caliceal plasty. The authors discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic management by analogy between this type of hydrocalyx and Fraley's syndrome.
