Abstract
Background: Congenital megacalice of Puigvert is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by non-obstructive dilatation of the renal calyces with normal pelvis, ureter and bladder. Clinic Observation: We report the case of a left congenital megacaliceus without lithiasis or obstruction in a 36-year-old female patient discovered on uroscanner indicated for chronic abdominal pain. Conclusion: Congenital megacalice is a rare pathology, and only clinical and biological monitoring remains the basis of its management.
