Retrocaval ureter also known as pre-ureteral vena cava is a rare congenital anomaly as ureter passes posterior to the inferior vena cava. It is a congenital anomaly but patients do not present with symptoms until the 3rd and 4th decades of life. Incidence is about 1 in 1500. M:F ratio is 3:1 male predominance in autopsy studies [1]. Complications of retrocaval ureter are urinary tract infection, hematuria. In the present series, 5 case diagnosed with retrocaval ureter were analyzed for age, sex, laterality, symptoms, and degree of Hydronephrosis. Open ureteroureterostomy with double J stent insertion was performed on all 5 patients. Double J stents were removed after 3 weeks and patients were followed at 3 months.
