Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Retrocaval ureter is abnormal looping of the proximal ureter behind the inferior vena cava. The aberrant anatomy results in the compression of the ureter causing hydronephrosis. This is a very infrequent cause of hydronephrosis in children. Association of retrocaval ureter with a stone in the looping segment of the ureter is extremely rare. We report one such pediatric case which was diagnosed preoperatively with a review of pediatric-only cases reported in last 5 years.
