Abstract
This is the report of an 18-year-old patient with a large abdominoscro tal hydrocele (ASH) and secondary hydroureteronephrosis on the right s ide resulting from contiguous pressure for several months. The literat ure review revealed hydronephrosis to be the most frequent complicatio n of ASH. The diagnosis is established by magnetic resonance imaging o r computerized tomography. Complete surgical excision through a groin incision is recommended. After removal, healing is usually complete, i ncluding regression of the hydroureteronephrosis.
