Ureteral Obstruction Caused by Endometriosis

Abstract

A case of endometriosis causing ureteral obstruction in a young woman was observed for 3.5 years. The conclusion is that early diagnosis is important and that intraveneous pyelography must be carried out at the slightest suspicion. In some cases initial treatment with Danazol alone can be tried. Otherwise the treatment must be surgical, possibly combined with Danazol.

Key Words:

• Ureteral obstruction
• endornetriosis
