| Summary: | Surgical complications remain a significant clinical problem following renal trans-plantation. Ureteral obstruction following transplantation is not uncommon. Persistent obstruc-tion of the ureterovesical anastomosis is the most common urologic complication.

We report here a case of Ureteral stenosis due to an unusual cause and review the literature. |
