title: Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings of ureteral myxedema in Graves' disease.
abstract: Ureteral myxedema is exceptionally rare. We describe computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings in a case of ureteral myxedema. The demonstration of water-like hyperintensity around the ureteral lumen on heavily T2-weighted sequences should be considered a strongly suggestive sign for ureteral myxedema.
