Vesicoureteral reflux is a common disorder in children, and its management has changed entirely as a result of widespread use of endoscopy procedures to inject filler materials. Complications with this type of treatment, particularly ureteral obstruction, are rare. Very few patients with delayed obstruction have been reported in the literature. We here present the case of an 8-year-old girl who exhibited symptoms of febrile renal colic and renal distension more than 5 years after undergoing endoscopic treatment. This is the first reported case of atypical late presentation combining pyelonephritis with ureteral obstruction and calcification.
