Two autopsy cases of congenital hydronephrosis are reported, and a short comment was made concerning its pathogenesis. One was unilateral and caused by membranous obstruction at the ureterovesical junction, and the other was bilateral and due to fibrous, cord‐like change of both ureters about 1–2 cm below the ureteropelvic junction. Comparative studies were made between our two cases and with cases which had been published so far in Japan and in some other countries. ACTA PATH. JAP. 20: 207–213, 1970.
