[Non obstructive retrocaval ureter].

Abstract

We report a case on circumcavum ureter without obstruction or type two, according the Batenson and Atkinson's classification, in a forty-nine year old man. It was diagnosticated for a gross haematuria and renoureteral pain, because of a simultaneous urinary tract infection. We emphasize its absence of the typical morphology and obstruction signs. After twelve months the patient is still asymptomatic, without any medical or surgical treatment.

A novel method for evaluating and expressing the degree of macroscopic hematuria.

We have created a universal and simple scale of evaluation for urine of the connection pipe attached to a urine collection bag. The figure of the Roman numeral II is printed in black in four different sizes (10.5, 18, 36, and 72 points) using the MS Gothic letter configuration of Microsoft Word on white paper. If this paper is, then, placed beneath the connection pipe attached to a urine collection bag, it becomes possible to determine the grade of hematuria by checking whether the gap between the two lines of II can be seen clearly through the hematuria. Furthermore, we are also able to evaluate the grade of hematuria of urine collected in a cup, by pouring the urine into a small clear tube of the same diameter as the connection pipe.
