 Abstract
 PDF
- Disruption of the urinary collecting system can produce internalized urine leaks that can be continous urine extravasation and form an encapsulated collection of urine, which is known as a urinoma. Urinoma is also called as pararenal pseudocyst and usually the result of renal injury and may be the result of obstructive uropathy from a ureteral stone or pelvic mass or even a urological procedure. Although urinoma may induce the urinary infection such as acute pyelonephritis, it may not give rise to jaundice due to biliary tract obstruction. We describe an unusual case of jaundice and acute pyelonephritis due to a giant urionoma after high grade renal injury.
