Abstract
Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is probably a partial manifestation of a systemic disease of the connective tissue. The clinical features of RPF are linked to the development of a retroperitoneal fibrous plaque which compresses and obstructs the ureters, the aorta, the inferior cava and the adjacent structures. Ormond's disease is characterised by two clinical stages: the early stage with signs and symptoms very similar to those of any subacute or chronic inflammation and the advanced stage with clinical features attributable to progressive ureteral obstruction, compression of the great vessels and involvement of the digestive apparatus.
