Anatomic variations in the urogenital tract have generally been diagnosed through intravenous urography as a modality of choice. In recent years, computerized tomography (CT) urogram has replaced the traditional intravenous imaging of the genitourinary tract. Hematuria, tumoral mass, obstructive uropathy, and congenital collecting system abnormalities are indications for CT imaging. In this report, we present a young woman with intermittent right flank pain and recent urinary tract infection. Her history was also positive for spontaneous abortion. She was referred to the Radiology Clinic for a CT urography. Our aim, in this case report, is to highlight the role of CT urography in the early diagnosis of anatomical variations of the urogenital system and appropriate prevention of clinical progression.
