Ureteric obstruction secondary to endometriosis. Report of three cases with a review of the literature.

Three cases of endometriosis are presented. In one patient bilateral obstruction was noted; in a second patient bilaterally enlarged kidneys with unilateral obstruction were found and in the third patient only unilateral obstruction was defined. Intrinsic ureteric obstruction and bilateral obstruction, both rare findings, are described in this report. The diagnosis, evaluation and management of these patients are discussed.
