Inguinal hernia causing extrinsic compression of bilateral ureters leading to chronic obstructive uropathy.

Ureteral inguinal hernias are a well-documented cause of obstructive uropathy with ureteric involvement in the hernia sac. In this unique case, the left-sided inguinal hernia causes extrinsic compression of bilateral ureters outside of the hernia sac leading to chronic obstructive uropathy, which is demonstrated on non-contrast CT and cystogram. This patient was managed with nephrostomy and subsequently antegrade stenting with nephrostomy removal. Prior to nephrostomy removal, nephrostogram demonstrated tapering of the left ureter in the pelvis. The patient's renal function continues to improve and is awaiting repair if his inguinal hernia after which he will have his ureteric stent removed.
