AB  - We present a case of an 83-year-old woman with multiple 
sclerosis and chronic indwelling urethral catheter who 
was found to have a ureteral injury after inadvertent 
placement of a foley catheter into the proximal right 
ureter. Cystoscopy and retrograde ureteral stenting was 
attempted, but unsuccessful. The patient ultimately 
underwent successful antegrade ureteral stenting and 
nephrostomy placement. We review the limited literature 
on the topic of aberrant foley catheter placement into the 
ureter.
