A rare case of chronic obstructive uropathy from urethral stenosis secondary to valvular dystrophy presenting as complete acute urinary retention preceded by progressive dysuria in a 77-year-old patient is described. Patient age and ultrasound evidence of bilateral hydronephrosis led us to suspect obstructive anuria from a neoplasm. The literature is reviewed, highlighting the role of gynecological disorders in the etiopathogenesis of female obstructive uropathy.
