The condition is usually associated with obstruction in the right kidney and proximal ureter leading to symptoms like dull aching pain in the flanks, recurrent episodes of urinary tract infections, and recurrent stone formation. The patient presented with recurrent episodes of burning micturition and pain in the right flank for the past 6\u00a0months. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography kidney\u2013ureter\u2013bladder was done to diagnose the condition. The patient was managed by open pelviureteric anastomosis lateral to the inferior vena cava, thus eliminating the obstruction on the ureter. The patient has had an uneventful postoperative follow-up. Retrocaval ureter is a rare condition and should be clinically suspected in cases of hydronephrosis where other causes have been ruled out. Different approaches can be used to correct the anomaly. In this case report, an open transperitoneal intraabdominal approach has been used.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjae407","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,10]],"date-time":"2024-06-10T13:00:12Z","timestamp":1718024412000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Management of a rare symptomatic retrocaval ureter: a case report with review of literature"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2024","author":[{"given":"Manzoor","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, JNMCH, AMU , Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh 202002 , India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-4533-5065","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ezaz","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, JNMCH, AMU , Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh 202002 , India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wasif","family":"Mohammad Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, JNMCH, AMU , Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh 202002 , India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saifullah","family":"Khalid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis, JNMCH, AMU , Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh 202002 , India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Imad","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, JNMCH, AMU , Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh 202002 , India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024061012582071100_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"444","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eursup.2006.02.008","article-title":"Circumcaval ureter: embryology","volume":"5","author":"Lesma","year":"2005","journal-title":"Eur Urol Suppl"},{"key":"2024061012582071100_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1377","DOI":"10.1007\/s00276-019-02269-w","article-title":"Retrocaval ureter: a metanalysis of prevalence","volume":"41","author":"Hostiuc","year":"2019","journal-title":"Surg Radio Anat"},{"key":"2024061012582071100_ref3","first-page":"47","article-title":"Retrocaval ureter: a case report","volume":"1","author":"Al-Hajjaj","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"2024061012582071100_ref4","first-page":"50","article-title":"Retrocaval ureter: report of two cases","volume":"31","author":"Qureshi","year":"1965","journal-title":"Am Surg"},{"key":"2024061012582071100_ref5","first-page":"177","article-title":"Retrocaval ureter:two case reports","volume":"45","author":"Kyei","year":"2011","journal-title":"Ghana Med J"},{"key":"2024061012582071100_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4","DOI":"10.21037\/acr.2018.09.01","article-title":"Incidental finding of retrocaval ureter in a patient without hydronephrosis","volume":"2","author":"Arruda","year":"2018","journal-title":"AME Case Rep"}],"container-title":["Journal of Surgical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2024\/6\/rjae407\/58181797\/rjae407.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2024\/6\/rjae407\/58181797\/rjae407.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,10]],"date-time":"2024-06-10T13:00:20Z","timestamp":1718024420000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjae407\/7690347"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,6]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjae407","relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-8812"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2042-8812"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2024,6]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,6]]},"article-number":"rjae407"}}
