[A case of congenital hydronephrosis suffering from rupture of the renal pelvis due to trauma].

A 19-year-old male patient was admitted with the chief complaint of left abdominal pain. After receiving a mild punch in the abdomen during boxing exercises, he had severe abdominal pain and was brought to an emergency room. Since abdominal CT scanning revealed the retention of massive fluid in the retroperitoneum, hydronephrotic rupture due to the trauma was diagnosed and nephrectomy was performed. The removed kidney was filled as a result of urinary retention, and congenital hydronephrosis accompanied by the ureteropelvic junction obstruction was macroscopically and pathohistologically diagnosed. Postoperative course was favorable and the patient was discharged on the 10th hospital day.
