Ureteric obstruction caused by pelvic actinomycosis.
Ureteric obstruction is a well-known complication of actinomycosis, however its management in previous case reports has been very variable and sometimes mutilating. We report a rare case presenting with ischiorectal abscess that was successfully treated by JJ stenting and penicillin.
