Abstract |
Episodic flank or abdominal pain with or without nausea and vomiting is most common manifesta-
tion of intermittent hydronephrosis. Between episodes of pain, the patient may be asymptomaitc and
intravenous urogram usually will be normal. This condition is diagnosed by intravenous urogram or
ultrasonogram taken either during episodes of pain or after hydronephrosis precipitated by use of
duretics or ingestion of alcoholic beverage, particulary beer or large volume of water.
We have experienced a patient who had intermittent and recurrent right flank pain with vomiting.
We diagnosed intermittent hydronephrosis with vesicoureteral reflux by intravenous pyelography,
ultrasonography, voiding cystourethrography, and retrograde pyelography and made a brief review
of related literatures.
