Abstract
A retroperitoneal urinoma (uriniferous pseudocyst) was diagnosed in a domestic shorthair cat exhibiting a sublumbar swelling two weeks after a road traffic accident. Plain radiography revealed a soft tissue opacity in the left retroperitoneal space. Intravenous urography and fine-needle aspiration were diagnostic. Contrast was seen pooling in the dilated ipsilateral renal pelvis and proximal ureter. Fluid aspirated from the retroperitoneal space had a creatinine level five times that of serum. Surgical drainage followed by nephrectomy and omentalisation of the pseudocyst was curative.
