| Summary: | Ureterosciatic hernia (USH) is a relatively rare cause of ureteral obstruction. We report a case of a patient with obstructive urosepsis caused by USH and treated by ureteral stenting. An 83-year-old woman came to our hospital with symptoms of left lumbar back pain and fever. Enhanced computed tomography showed left hydronephrosis and ureteral protrusion through the greater foramen sciaticum. The patient was diagnosed with USH and underwent transurethral ureteral stenting. Eight months later, the ureteral stent was removed. There has been no recurrence of USH 6 months after removal of the ureteral stent. |
