Objective : To discuss the possible mechanism of development of retroperitoneal lymphocele following blunt trauma to the ureter and lumbar spine. Setting: Fukui University Hospital, Fukui, Japan. Results : A 71-year-old man presented with severe intractable low back pain caused by a huge retroperitoneal lymphocele, which was considered to be related to an occult L4 vertebral fracture and a blunt ureteral injury. The retroperitoneal lymphocele also caused significant instability at L3-4 level, thus requiring surgical resection followed by interbody fusion. Conclusion : Physicians should be aware that such unusual retroperitoneal lymphocele might develop even after a blunt ureteral injury or a minor lumbar spine fracture. Langue : ANGLAIS |
