Abstract

Introduction: We report a rare congenital anomaly, varicocele due to circumcaval ureter (CCU) with infertility. The patient had abnormal semen parameters (decreased sperm motility). Abdominal ultrasound revealed marked right hydronephrosis and testicular ultrasound revealed right varicoid veins. Urography showed typical reverse J deformity on the right side. Helical C.T. confirmed the CCU. We performed classical CCU surgery and in addition Palomo varicocelectomy. The patient became the fertile on the postoperative 8th month. This is the first case of infertility resulting from CCU in the literature.

Özet

Ender bir doğumsal anomali olan ve infertiliteye sebep olmuş sirkumkaval üretere bağlı varikosel olgusunu sunduk. Hastanın anormal sperm değerleri mevcuttu (azalmış sperm motilitesi). Abdominal USG'de belirgin sağ hidronefroz mevcuttu ve testiküler USG'de sağ variköz venler gözlendi. Urografıde sağ tarafta tipik ters J deformitesi gözlendi. Spiral C.T. ile tanı doğrulandı. Biz klasik sirkumkaval üreter cerrahisini ve ilave olarak Palomo varikoselektomi yaptık. Hasta cerrahi sonrası 8. ayda fertil hale geldi. Bu olgu sirkumkaval üreterden dolayı infertilitenin gözlendiği literatürdeki ilk vakadır.
