summary

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (Ormond’s disease, RPF) is relatively unusual condition characterized by widespread fibrosis, usually occurring
in the retroperitoneum. RPF is composed of proliferating fibrous tissue dissecting through adipose tissue the abdominal aorta and
branches of common iliac vessels artery region. This fibrotic tissue usually involves the ureters causing their compression with secondary
hydronephrosis.
We introduce case of both kidneys spontaneous rupture in patient with Ormond’s disease.
