title: Ruptured Renal Pelvis Due to Obstruction by Ureterosciatic Hernia: A Rare Condition With a Rare Complication.
abstract: Ureterosciatic hernia is an extremely rare condition. Here we report a case of ureterosciatic hernia presented with sudden loin pain, with contrast computed tomography and antegrade pyelogram demonstrating ureterosciatic hernia causing ureteric obstruction and renal pelvic rupture. Subsequently, laparotomy with hernia reduction and mesh repair was performed.
