The retrocaval ureter is a rare malformation and may simulate acute appendicitis. Diagnosis shoud be made by a lateral X-ray view of the inferior vena cava and the ureter simultaneously. Surgical treatment is mandatory in the case of flank pain and consists of nephrectomy or dismembered pyeloplasty in front of the vena cava inferior or finally, dismembered angioplasty of the vena cava inferior behind the ureter.
腔静脉后输尿管是一种罕见的畸形，可能类似急性阑尾炎。诊断应通过同时对下腔静脉和输尿管进行侧位X线检查来做出。对于有胁腹痛的病例，手术治疗是必要的，包括肾切除术、在肾静脉前方进行肾盂成形术，或最后在输尿管后方进行肾静脉整形术。
