A case of bilateral ureteric and vena caval obstruction due to retroperitotneal fibrosis associated with an abdominal aortic aneurysm is reported Partial resection of the aneurysm and insertion of a Dacron graft resulted in regression of the ureteric and caval obstruction. It is suggested that freeing of the ureters at the time of operation for the aneurysm, as been advocated, may be unncessary.
