Abstract EN
We present a case of a 45-year-old female who experienced rupture of a right calyceal diverticulum caused by ureteroscopy.
Fifteen hours after the operation, she had severe right flank pain and a high fever (38.9°C).
Computed tomography revealed perinephric extravasation of urine and bleeding inside the diverticulum.
We diagnosed rupture of a calyceal diverticulum; therefore, we continued antibiotic administration and pain relief medication.
She became afebrile on postoperative day 4 and was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 7.
Owing to renal cortex thinning in the diverticula, ureteroscopy is associated with a risk of rupture of calyceal diverticula.
