Obstruction of a ureter orifice by suprapubic catheter

Matan Mekayten Mordechai Duvdevani

Abstrak

An Indwelling suprapubic catheter is an established solution for patients with meningomyelocele neurogenic bladder. We report on a case in which a routinely replaced suprapubic catheter obstructed the left ureter orifice. The catheter drainage holes were inside the distal left ureter which compromised urinary drainage from the other kidney as well. As a result, the patient suffered from acute renal failure. During his hospitalization, the catheter was replaced and re-located, and renal function rapidly improved. This case emphasizes that even procedures that have been routinely performed for decades can manifest with an unusual complications.
