A missed diagnosis of retrocaval ureter; case report and review of the literature.

The retrocaval ureter is an uncommon congenital anomaly due to an abnormal development of the inferior vena cava. Our case describes an 8 year-old boy who was referred to our center as a case of ureteropelvic junction obstruction with persistent hydronephrosis after pyeloplasty. Retrograde pyelogram showed features of retrocaval ureter which was managed surgically with constructive repair of the ureter. The low clinical incidence may be due to a number of asymptomatic cases that are not diagnosed in the patient's lifetime.

Bilateral ureteric re-implant for an 18 months old boy with a huge bilateral hutch diverticulum presented with recurrent urinary retention.

Huge bladder diverticulum is uncommon but serious cause of obstructive uropathy in children. This study investigated an 18 months old boy with a huge bilateral Hutch diverticulum presented with recurrent urinary retention, underwent bilateral bladder diverticulectomy. The operative management entailed meticulous reconstruction of the lower urinary tract. Post operatively the patient restored normal voiding dynamics, and he is on regular follow up. We are reporting this case due to its rarity and to share our experience with the management and outcome in such cases.
