Giant Hydronephrosis and Hydroureter. Early diagnosis with computed tomography (CT) scan-Case Report and Review of Literature
Abstract
Giant hydronephrosis is an infrequent entity in adults, most cases discovered in young to middle aged group. Our object is a case report of giant hydronephrosis and review of literature. Symptoms of abdominal distension, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of large intra-abdominal cystic masses. The importance of diagnostic imaging modalities in diagnosis. Role of computed tomography in early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of giant hydronephrosis, and CT is the best imaging modality to facilitate urgent treatment.
