Case ReportsPost traumatic retroperitoneal fibrosis as a cause of low-back pain.
We present the case of a male patient with post traumatic retroperitoneal fibrosis whose main clinical expression was low-back pain. Diagnosis was established using CAT-scan and MRI, which revealed a large mass of soft tissue that almost entirely enveloped the abdominal aorta. ⋯ Treatment was continued for one year. Two and a half years later the patient remains symptom-free, with no recurrence of his condition.
