A Case of Urinary Ascites with Urinoma Secondary to Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in a Neonate

ABSTRACT

Spontaneous intraperitoneal extravasation of urine is rare. Perirenal urinoma may develop when obstruction to urinary flow creates sufficient back pressure to produce extravasation of urine. Urinary ascites most commonly indicate a disruption to the integrity of the urinary tract. We report a case of urinary ascites with urinoma resulting from an ureteropelvic junction obstruction in a neonate.
