Iliac Artery-Ureteral Fistula Associated with an Indwelling Ureteral Stent

Abstract

We report on a patient with an ureteroiliac artery fistula, which developed after double J stenting. The stent was introduced because of unilateral hydronephrosis 2 months after a Wertheim-Meigs operation preceded by cesium application. The presenting symptom of gross hematuria was initially misjudged to originate from the kidney. The diagnostic difficulties in this case are discussed.
