The conventional excretory urogram may provide valuable information in the diagnosis of polyarteritis nodosa. A finding of imprints on the ureteral wall or a nodular appearance of the ureter simulating a string of pearls would seem to be pathognomonic for this disorder. Two cases with these manifestations are presented and the differential diagnosis is discussed.

A case of secondary hydronephrosis to lesions from polyarteritis nodosa localized in a short segment of the mid-portion of the ureter together with sclerolipomatosis, periureteritis and functional stenosis is presented. Polyarteritis nodosa is a necrotizing vasculitis affecting small and middle-sized arteries of all organs but more particularly the kidney, heart, gastrointestinal tract, testicles, liver and the striad muscles. Localization in the fatty tissue surrounding the ureter with a periureteritis is not frequent, only 1 case has been published in the literature (1).

The authors report a case of anuria. The existence of an isolated pseudotumor of the pelvic ureter revealed a case of periarteritis nodosa. A segmental resection and a psoic bladder provided satisfactory functional recovery.

A case of polyarteritis nodosa with bilateral ureteral changes in IVU is reported, because of the rarity of ureteric involvement in this entity. The urographic findings were unilateral ureteral stricture with hydronephrosis and irregular ureter outlines bilaterally. All lesions subsided after treatment.

The manifestations of polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) are varied, but urological abnormalities other than ureteric stenosis and orchitis have not been described. We report a case of hepatitis B-associated PAN with bilateral hydronephrosis without obstruction. Retrograde urography conclusively demonstrated the absence of obstruction. Vasculitis-related myopathy, or neuropathy of the ureter, is the most likely cause of this finding. The patient was treated with high-dose steroids, cyclophosphamide, and plasmapheresis with resolution of hydronephrosis. Although the patient required dialysis at initiation of therapy, she went on to recover sufficient renal function to discontinue dialysis. We review the literature on the treatment of hepatitis B-associated PAN and discuss the pitfalls in diagnosis of this condition.

Polyarteritis nodosa with gallbladder involvement is a rare condition. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is also a rare condition and rarely complicated. We describe an extremely rare case of Polyarteritis nodosa, involving gallblader and ureter without obstruction, in a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. To the best of the authors' knowledge, such a case has not been reported previously.
