[Spontaneous renal forniceal rupture with suspicious ovarian mass]. / Urétéro-hydronéphrose avec rupture du fornix sur masse ovarienne suspecte.

Extravasation of urine following rupture of the renal fornix is a rare complication mostly caused by obstruction secondary to distal ureteric stones. This 35-year-old woman was referred with back pain. Her CT scan revealed rupture of the renal fornix secondary to a pelvic mass. Laparoscopy subsequently confirmed this to be an ovarian abscess. We report the first case of spontaneous renal forniceal rupture secondary to pelvic inflammatory disease.
