Ureteric herniation through a diaphragmatic defect in adults (Bochdalek hernia – BH) is rare, with less than 15 cases reported in the literature. Most patients present with non-specific abdominal symptoms with or without worsening of renal function, and therefore, the clinical picture can be masked [1]. Management of ureteric involvement ranges from conservative to reconstructive surgery. We report a case of an elderly (>80-year-old) patient who presented acutely with symptoms mimicking an acute abdomen and on imaging was found to have a BH associated with herniation of right ureter causing hydro-ureter. We managed the patient conservatively, and she improved symptomatically, which was evident from her follow-ups. We provide a detailed case report of this situation as well as discuss the literature on the topic to guide treatment decision-making.
