Abstract
Retroperitoneal ectatic or varicose veins may cause ureteral extrinsic pres sure defects. Doppler sonography may be helpful in the characterization of these vascular lesions. We report the sonographic findings in a case of asy mptomatic idiopathic left ureteral varices. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc . J Clin Ultrasound 27:353-355, 1999.
