Abstract: 
Retro cave ureter (RCU), a congenital anomaly of the ureter, is characterized by the passage of the ureter behind the inferior vena cava (IVC). This rare condition, which clinically manifests as an obstructive syndrome of the upper urinary tract, can remain asymptomatic for a long time, leading to late diagnosis.
