Item Retrocaval ureter: Two case reports.(2011-12) Kyei, M.Y.; Yeboah, E.D.; Klufio, G.O.; Mensah, J.E.; Gepi-Atee, S.; Zakpaa, L.; Morton, B.; Adusei, B.Retrocaval ureter also referred to as pre-ureteral vena cava is a rare congenital anomaly with the ureter passing posterior to the inferior vena cava. Though it is a congenital anomaly, patients do not normally present with symptoms until the 3rd and 4th decades of life from a resulting hydronephrosis. We present the first two cases to be reported in Ghana; a 36-year-old male and a 40-year-old female both with right flank pains and associated right hydronephrosis. Diagnoses were confirmed with retrograde ureteropyelogram and both had an open surgical repair of the anomaly.
