ABSTRACT
An urinoma(uriniferous pseudocyst, pararenal pseudocyst) denotes an encapsulated collection of urine in the perirenal or paraureteral space. It was usually reported in relation to trauma and acquired obstructive uropathy but rarely reported in renal infection including renal candidiasis. The mechanism is believed due to rupture of fornix through weakened portion of suppurated kidney and pyelosinus backflow by increased intrapelvic pressure in obstructive uropathy and fungus ball obstruction. We report a case of urinoma in a premature as the first case in Korea which developed as a complication of renal candidiasis.
