ANURIA FROM BILATERAL URETERAL LITHIASIS

A 73-year-old man was admitted ta the ICU for anuria, He reported no h istory of urinary disease, The abdominal roentgenography and two echog raphies showed an empty urinary bladder, a right ureteral calculus wit hout dilatation of the urinary tract. Computed tomography demonstrated the presence of a left ureteral stone, Bilateral retrograde ureterosc opy and drainage allowed a rapid recovery. When the abdominal roentgen ography and echography cannot explain the occurrence of anuria, the co mputed tomography, or better the helical CT, can demonstrate the prese nce of otherwise unrecognized calculi.
