Abstract
Giant hydronephrosis leading to obstructive jaundice in adults is extremely rare. This 83-year-old woman presented obstructive jaundice that was due to blockage of the pelviureteric junction and resolved by percutaneous nephrostomy. We discuss the pathophysiologic hypotheses and rule out mechanical compression as a cause.
