Bilateral ureteral obstruction after open ureteral reimplantation in a 3-year-old patient with Williams Beuren syndrome

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common urological problem in the pediatric population and can be corrected by ureteral reimplantation in severe or persistent cases. This procedure is generally well tolerated, although complications, including ureteral obstruction, may occur in the postoperative period. We present a rare case of a 3-year-old with Williams Beuren syndrome who underwent bilateral ureteral reimplantation for VUR and subsequently developed bilateral ureteral obstruction with acute renal failure requiring nephrostomy tube placement within 48 hours of surgery.
