Simultaneous upper and lower urinary tract obstruction associated with severe genital prolapse: Diagnosis and evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging

Genital prolapse causing both urethral and ureteral obstruction is an infre quent occurrence, especially in the absence of uterine prolapse. We report on a patient with massive genital prolapse causing both urethral and ureter al obstruction in whom magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the level of obstructive uropathy and, after surgical repair of the prolapse, confirmed restoration of the normal pelvic and upper urinary tract anatomy.
