Abstract
The authors report the case of a patient presenting with disabling left lum bar pain. Complementary investigations confirmed the diagnosis of isolated hydrocalyx with no organic cause. Surgical treatment was conservative with caliceal plasty. The authors discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic managem ent by analogy between this type of hydrocalyx and Fraley's syndrome.
