| Abstract |
|
Ureteropelvic junction obstruction is the most common congenital anomaly and causes upper urinary tract obstruction in fetuses,
neonates, and children, of which 30~50% is diagnosed before birth and rarely diagnosed in adults.
In childhood, a ureteropelvic junction obstruction is usually diagnosed by incidental hydronephrosis on ultrasonography, UTIs,
fever, abdominal and flank pain, and a palpable abdominal mass. In adults, a ureteropelvic junction obstruction may be asymptomatic
for life or may result in flank pain and/or hematuria.
We report a case of chronic flank pain, which was finally diagnosed as a ureteropelvic junction obstruction. (Korean J Med
