    <abstract language="eng">Ketamine-associated cystitis is growing in prevalence as the availability and use of illicit drugs increases. Delayed diagnosis and management can lead to poor patient outcomes including irreversible renal impairment. Early diagnosis, ketamine cessation and management of complications is therefore crucial. There are only a few case reports in the literature describing this condition. We report an additional case of a young patient with ketamine-associated ulcerative cystitis causing upstream obstructive uropathy.</abstract>
