title: Assessment of renal graft obstruction due to ureteral inguinal hernia: US detection and 3D MR confirmation.
abstract: In most cases, renal graft obstruction is caused by ureteral stenosis due to ischemia or technical error. Exceptional cases have been published where the obstacle was the result of incarceration of the ureter in an inguinal hernia. We report a case of this type, which prompt assessment was possible due to ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging with 3D reconstruction.
