Abstract: Pyonephrosis is a serious condition that can lead to kidney dysfunction, loss of the organ, and even fatal end due to its complications. The underlying etiologic factors include lithiasis, recurrent urinary infections, ureter stricture, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, malignancy, and retroperitoneal fibrosis. One of the rare possible complications of pyonephrosis is a retroperitoneal rupture with spontaneous communication to the abdomen causing secondary peritonitis. We present such a case which is the first video-documented report of the peritoneal rupture site within the abdominal cavity.
