title: [A case of multifocal fibrosis].
abstract: We report a case of multifocal fibrosis extending retroperitoneally (Ormond's syndrome) with urinary tract obstruction and bilateral ureterohydronephrosis that resulted in chronic renal insufficiency. The development of mediastinal and pericardial fibrosis was accompanied by clinical symptoms of exudative and constrictive pericarditis. Fibrosis of cardiac conducting system was associated with compromised sinus node and intraventricular blockade. Paraaortic, paraorbital, and periportal extension of fibrosis was documented. Diagnosis was made based on clinical observations and results of MSCT. Duration of the disease was 20 years. Immunosuppressive therapy failed to improve the patient's condition because of irreversible structural and functional changes in the organs.
