Publication date: July 2019Source: Urology Case Reports, Volume 25Author(s): Javier Lorca, Vital Hevia, Victor Diez Nicolás, Andres González, Clara Sánchez Guerrero, Francisco Javier Burgos RevillaAbstractGenitourinary schistosomiasis is an acquired cause of urinary tract diseases, especially hematuria. Schistosoma haematobium can infect travelers after a single exposure. Bladder is the most frequent organ involved within the urinary tract, although upper tract can also be affected. Case report of 34-year-old woman with left upper urinary tract obstruction due to schistosomiasis is presented, as well as its diagnosis and minimally invasive surgical management through a laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation. After 1-year follow-up, she remains asymptomatic and without upper tract obstruction demonstrated by CT.
