Description
Summary:The ureteric "rendezvous" procedure is an interventional procedure involving both uro-radiological and cystoscopic techniques to manage complex ureteric stenoses or fistulae. We present a case in which this procedure was utilised, with an unusual intra-procedural finding. Macroscopic visualisation of lipids within the urinary tract is an unusual finding at CT, and rarely seen at cystoscopy. The aetiology of lipiduria is varied; it may indicate the presence of unrecognised pathology, occur as a sequelae of trauma, or arise secondary to intervention. Understanding the patient's history is vital to determining the likely aetiology and significance of such a finding.
