Abstract
The retrocaval ureter is a congenital anomaly in which the ureter passes posteriorly to the inferior vena cava (IVC). This condition is rare and promotes compression of the upper segment of the ureter, leading to urological symptoms, the main one being hydronephrosis. We present a case of the Hospital Regional do Vale do Paraíba from the year 2022 of retrocaval ureter associated with ureterolithiasis, whose endourological treatment allowed the successful treatment of urinary lithiasis safely despite the congenital anomaly presented by the patient.
