Extragenitourinary retroperitoneal primary hydatid cyst : a rare cause of bilateral lower ureteric obstruction and unilateral limb edema

الملخص EN

Hydatid cyst is an endemic disease in our country.

Most commonly, it occurs in the liver and lungs.

Bilateral hydroureteronephrosis is one of the rare presentations of hydatid disease.

Herein, we are reporting an unusual case of hydatid disease where the primary mode of presentation was external iliac vein compression with chronic renal failure because of bilateral ureteric involvement.

The patient was treated with bilateral double-J stenting to improve the renal function and operated later for removal of hydatid cyst under albendazole drug treatment.
