Retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital abnormality resulting in the ureter passing dorsal to and being obstructed by the inferior vena cava. Its symptom is non-specific, and urography is the key to diagnosis. We report one such case diagnosed by spiral computed tomography urography.

下腔靜脈後輸尿管是一種罕見的先天性異常,導致輸尿管向背部通過並被下腔靜脈阻塞。其症狀是非特異性的,尿路造影是診斷的關鍵。本文報告一例螺旋CT尿路造影診斷病例。
