Hydroureter and hydronephrosis of pregnancy presenting as acute obstetric or surgical emergencies.

Abstract

The unusual clinical course of three cases of dilatation of ureters and renal pelvises in pregnancy was reported. The presenting symptom in each case was acute abdominal pain, which was at first attributed to other surgical or obstetric emergencies like premature separation of placenta, acute appendicitis and acute hydramnion.
