Abstract
Renal involvement is common in Henoch-Schoenlein purpura (HSP) and, wh ile ureteral obstruction has been described in patients with the disea se, it is rare. We report a female with HSP who developed bilateral ur eteral obstruction from peri-ureteral vasculitis and subsequent ureter al ischemia. Hydronephrosis and typical findings on contrast urography indicated the diagnosis.
