Transrectal Ultrasound For The Diagnosis Of Lower Ureteric Calculus
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Mid or Lower Ureteric calculi are one of the common causes of hydronephrosis and hydroureter. While ultrasound is commonly done to diagnose presence of obstructive uropthy it may be difficult to demonstrate presence of calculus in obese patients or in patients with unsatisfactory bowel preparation. In such cases before going for IVP or CT scan transrectal ultrasound should be done as IVP and CT Abdomen is associated with contrast reactions and radiation respectively.
