Title of article - Asymptomatic ureteral rupture secondary to chronic urinary retention from massive prostatic enlargement.
Abstract
Non-traumatic ureteral rupture has been reported more frequently, resulting from increased intraluminal pressures from distal urinary tract obstruction. We report the case of a 77-year-old man presenting with chronic urinary retention secondary to massive prostatic enlargement through acute kidney injury. Ultrasound scan detected a shallow left perinephric fluid collection with a possible bladder mass, demonstrated on flexible cystoscopy to be a massive median lobe of prostate. Computed tomography confirmed extravasation of urine from the left proximal ureter. In the absence of specific symptoms, the patient had successful conservative management with antibiotics and urinary catheterization for his acute episode, although declined further surgical intervention.
