title: Procidentia-induced perinephric and subcutaneous abscesses.
abstract: Total uterine prolapse, or procidentia, rarely causes obstructive uropathy. Procidentia-induced perinephric abscess has not been reported to date. We present a case of perinephric and subcutaneous abscesses secondary to procidentia-induced hydronephrosis and forniceal rupture of Staphylococcus aureus-infected urine.
