Abstract

Author herein describes 2 cases of spontaneous urinary extravasation of the kidney whose underlying diseases are ureter stone associated with acute pyelonephritis and hydronephrosis caused by B.P.H. respectively. The frank pelvic rupture associated with ureter stone was managed by nephrectomy and peripelvic extravasation with fornical back flow associated with B.P.H. was managed by urethral catheter drainage. Because it is not uncommon and may cause serious retroperitoneal complication, it should be considered in patients who present flank pain and mass with a history of obstructive uropathy, and acute abdomen not suggesting urologic pathology. The mechanics of peripelvic extravasation and brief review of diagnosis and management are presented.
