This case report and literature review examines a patient presenting with left hydronephrosis resulting from left ureteral endometriosis, highlighting the diagnostic challenges posed by the condition's insidious onset and lack of specific clinical manifestations. The authors note that urinary tract involvement is increasingly recognized but often leads to delayed diagnosis and potential renal failure if not identified early. They emphasize the necessity for multidisciplinary collaboration between gynecologists and urologists due to ongoing debates regarding optimal surgical management strategies for this complication. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically deep infiltrating endometriosis involving the ureter and causing secondary hydronephrosis.
