          Abstract

          Ureteritis cystica is a rare urological disease with an undefined etiology. Despite the benign behavior, the differential diagnosis should be investigated, as other conditions the cause filling defects in the ureters may occur. We present a rare case of a patient with ureteritis cystica whose differential diagnosis was satisfactory.

            Ureteritis Cystica: Important Consideration in the Differential Diagnosis of Acute Renal Colic

            Ureteritis cystica is an uncommon cause of acute renal pain. The aetiology remains unclear and the diagnosis may be difficult to establish. We report the case of a 29 year old woman with a history of repeated urinary tract infections presenting with acute renal colic in the absence of lithiasis. We review the diagnostic tools available to make the diagnosis and the recent pertinent literature.

              [Cystic pyeloureteritis and infection. Presentation forms and review of the literature].

              To present three illustrative cases of pyeloureteritis cystica and review the literature. Three illustrative cases diagnosed at our department are described. Patient history, clinical features, diagnostic procedures and treatment are analyzed and the literature is reviewed. Our patients had no specific symptoms. All three patients had urinary tract infection with pyeloureteral involvement, which was bilateral in two cases. One of these patients had a long-indwelling catheter. Pyeloureteritis cystica is a benign and uncommon condition whose etiology is not well-known. It is generally associated with chronic infection and inflammation, and may be difficult to distinguish from other filling defects of the urinary tract. Due to its benign nature, treatment must always be conservative and close follow-up is recommended.
