Abstract

The management of a young woman with a ureteric stricture is a challenge to the urologist. Genitourinary tuberculosis can cause ureteric strictures, with minimal symptoms. Untreated, it can lead to impairment of renal function. Diagnosis of genitourinary tuberculosis may be delayed until histopathological assessment. Drug treatment and reconstructive surgery produce good results.
