Abstract
This case study examines a patient with severe hydronephrosis caused by ureteral obstruction, secondary to ovarian serous carcinoma. Gynecologic malignancies, especially advanced ovarian carcinoma, are common extrinsic causes of obstructive hydronephrosis. Sonography is a valuable modality to visualize the kidneys, diagnose hydronephrosis, and determine the grade of hydronephrosis. The treatment of hydronephrosis aims to remove the build-up of urine, prevent permanent kidney damage, and treat the underlying cause. Prolonged or severe cases of hydronephrosis can lead to acute kidney injury.
