Post‐traumatic paraureteral urinoma in a cat
2004
Worth, A. J. | Tomlin, S. C.
A retroperitoneal urinoma (uriniferous pseudocyst) was diagnosed in a domestic shorthair cat exhibiting a sublumbar swelling two weeks after a road traffic accident. Plain radiography revealed a soft tissue opacity in the left retroperitoneal space. Intravenous urography and fine‐needle aspiration were diagnostic. Contrast was seen pooling in the dilated ipsilateral renal pelvis and proximal ureter. Fluid aspirated from the retroperitoneal space had a creatinine level five times that of serum. Surgical drainage followed by nephrectomy and omentalisation of the pseudocyst was curative.
