After percutaneous drainage, symptoms was improved and there was no evidence of increasing pleural fluid. So we decided to discharge, however the patient presented again to emergency department with fever, chill, dyspnea, and left flank pain. Retrograde pyelogram and DTPA renal imaging shows radiocontras leakage from low pole of left kindey. The patient was diagnosed with ureter fistula, and performed a urethral stent indwelling by urethroscopic.
