Hydronephrosis caused by intra-abdominal abscess from cecal perforation by an ingested fish bone.
A patient was treated for hydronephrosis caused by an intra-abdominal abscess arising from cecal perforation by an ingested fish bone. To the authors' knowledge there is no previous report of such ureteral obstruction. Ureteral stenting, drainage of the abscess, and ileocecal resection were performed. Six months of stenting were required to attain ongoing ureteral patency following removal.
