Abstract
We report the case of a 51-year old woman presenting pyelovenous fistula revealed by recurrent and serious thromboembolic events after ureteral ligation during emergency peripartum hysterectomy. Imaging reported a complete left ureteral obstruction, a fistula between the upper calix and the left renal vein and a renal function preserved. Uretero-vesical reimplantation was performed. The patient was well doing after 12 months. The authors wonder if pyelovenous fistula is responsible for prothrombotic state and maintaining renal function.
