Abstract

Sub-mucosal hemorrhage of the ureteral wall has only been reported in exceptional cases. We report the case of a 78-year-old male presented with macroscopic hematuria and right lumbar pains with an overdose of anticoagulant treatment. An abdominal CT Scan with Contrast was performed which led to the diagnosis of submucosal hematoma of the wall of the ureter and the right pelvis. Clinical improvement was rapidly favorable after adaptation of the anti-coagulant treatment.

Keywords: Hematuria, anticoagulant treatment, ureteral wall, lumbar pain
