Extrarenal calyces as a cause of non-functional kidney in a child: Case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Originally described by Eisendrath in 1925, extrarenal calyces (ERC) are a very rare upper tract anomaly, with approximately 50 cases reported in the world literature, including this one (20%< 17 years).1 This malformation usually consists of a discoid kidney with the major calyces and the renal pelvis located outside the renal parenchyma, and it has been associated with other renal anomalies, such as ectopic kidney and renal dysplasia.1,2 Because of this rareness, we present the case of a female patient with severe right hydronephrosis and extrarenal calyces. The radiologic studies didn't revealed the exact diagnosis, but it was an intraoperative finding.

متن کاملExtrarenal pelvis mimicking hydronephrosis: a case for caution
Extrarenal pelvis is an anatomical variant that appears as a large hypoechoic mass just outside the renal sinus and can be confused with hydronephrosis, especially on a point-of-care renal ultrasound. Unlike hydronephrosis, it is not associated with dilated calyces, parenchymal thinning, hydroureter, or enlarged kidney per se.
