Popis: Fetal urinomas are often diagnosed in prenatal ultrasonography. The etiology is usually an obstructive uropathy leading to hydronephrosis and increased intrarenal pressure putting future kidney function at risk. Rupture of pyelocaliceal system in such cases may lead to retroperitoneal urinoma or urinary ascites, sepsis, uraemia, and acute renal failure. On the other hand, this may serve as “pop-off valve” mechanism decreasing intrarenal pressure and protecting from definitive kidney function loss. We present a case of a newborn girl with a retroperitoneal urinoma, ascites, uraemia, and obstruction of a solitary right kidney, which was successfully treated minimally invasively through peritoneal and retroperitoneal drainage and intubation of the right ureter with a DJ stent shortly after birth.
