Abstract (2. Language): 
Ureteral obstruction secondary to endometriosis is a relatively rare condition. We present a case of incipient pelvic endometriosis presenting with urinary symptoms. A 27-year-old, nulligravid female patient admitted to our clinic with symptoms suggesting pyelonephritis. Radiological studies did not reveal urolithiasis. However, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated adnexial mass and left ureterohydronephrosis, thus leading to open surgery. During surgical exploration bicornuate uterus, myoma and a periureteral fibrotic mass were excised and end-toend ureteral anastomosis was performed. Interestingly, the histopathological diagnosis of the periureteral fibrous tissue was endometriosis. Fast recovery was observed in the functions of impaired left kidney during early postoperative follow-up. During their daily practices urologists should be aware of ureteral stricture due to endometriosis especially in premenopausal women with dilated collective system. Kidney protective approaches should be the initial choice while managing ureteral endometriosis in women in child bearing age.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Endometriyozis nedeniyle ortaya çıkan üreter tıkanıklığı nispeten nadir bir durumdur. Biz üriner semptomlarla ortaya çıkan yanıltıcı bir endometriyozis olgusunu sunuyoruz. Yirmi yedi yaşında hiç doğum yapmamış bir bayan hasta, kliniğimize piyelonefrit tanısını düşündüren belirtilerle başvurdu. Radyolojik incelemede üriner taşa ait bulguya rastlanmadı. Bununla birlikte bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntülemede adneksiyal kitle ve sol üreterohidronefroz saptandı, bu yüzden açık cerrahi uygulanmasına karar verildi. Cerrahi girişimle bikornuat uterus, miyom ve üreter çevresindeki fibrotik kitle çıkarıldı ve uç-uca üreter anastomozu uygulandı. İlginç olarak üreter çevresindeki fibrotik dokunun histopatolojik tanısı endometriyozisdi. Ameliyat sonrası takipte erken dönemde bozulmuş sol böbrek fonksiyonlarının hızla düzeldiği gözlendi. Ürologlar günlük pratiklerinde özellikle menapoz öncesi genişlemiş toplayıcı sistemi olan kadınlarda endometriyozise bağlı gelişmiş olabilecek üreteral darlıklara karşı uyanık bulunmalıdır. Doğurgan yaştaki kadınlarda üreteral endometriyozisin tedavisinde böbrek koruyucu yaklaşımlar ilk seçenek olmalıdır.
