However ureteric obstruction which is the hallmark of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis, has not been described in systemic Weber-Christian disease. We report a patient with systemic Weber-Christian disease who, during a relapse, developed bilateral ureteric obstruction which resolved when the Weber-Christian disease remitted. The radiological appearances were consistent with a diagnosis of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis, but the clinical course was slightly atypical in that the ureteric obstruction resolved completely and rapidly. Ureteric obstruction can complicate systemic Weber-Christian disease and this observation gives support to the hypothesis that idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis is related to systemic Weber-Christian disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.65.764.410","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,29]],"date-time":"2008-12-29T21:05:27Z","timestamp":1230584727000},"page":"410-416","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Systemic Weber-Christian disease with reversible bilateral ureteric obstruction"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"65","author":[{"given":"L A","family":"Brawn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University Departments of Therapeutics, Urology and Pathology, Royal Hallamshire Hospital , Glossop Road, Sheffield S10 2JF , UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L E","family":"Ramsay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Departments of Therapeutics, Urology and Pathology, Royal Hallamshire Hospital , Glossop Road, Sheffield S10 2JF , UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J R","family":"Shortland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Departments of Therapeutics, Urology and Pathology, Royal Hallamshire Hospital , Glossop Road, Sheffield S10 2JF , UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J L","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Departments of Therapeutics, Urology and Pathology, Royal Hallamshire Hospital , Glossop Road, Sheffield S10 2JF , UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1989,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1035","article-title":"Case records of the Massachusetts General Hospital","volume":"306","author":"Scully, R.E.; Mark, E.J.; McNeely, B.U.","year":"1982","unstructured":"Scully, R.E., Mark, E.J. & McNeely, B.U.
