Abstract
- Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis is proliferation of fibrous tissue with inflammatory process due to unknown etiology, that may involve the ureters and other retroperitoneal structures. The majority of reported cases have been treated surgically by ureterolysis or intraperitonealization of the ureters. Recently, successful management of retroperitoneal fibrosis by administration of steroids also has been reported. We report two cases of patients who underwent successful treatment of an idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis with high dose steroids therapy.
