Abstract

Ureterovesical Junction Obstruction (UVJO) is a rare but important cause of hydroureteronephrosis in childhood. A 2-years-old boy suffered from giant hydroureteronephrosis originating from idiopathic ureterovesical junction obstruction. He was treated with excision of narrow ureteric segment with tapering ureteroplasty and a ureteral reimplantation was performed. This case is presented and discussed with reference to etiology of this rather rare anomaly.
