Huge obstructive bladder diverticula and cystic dysplastic kidneys in a newborn: a challenging dilemma

AbsractThis study investigated a 63-day boy with end stage renal disease and abdominalcysts. The antenatal sonography detected anhydraminos, posterior urethral valve,and cystic dysplastic kidneys. Voiding cystourethrogram revealed two obstructivegiant diverticula which at first looked like enlarged renal pelvis. The patient had persistenturinary tract infection and perforation of diverticula. The dialysis was ineffectivebecause of leakage, immeasurable inflow and dwell volume, peritonitis and tunnelinfection. As a result, the availability of automated peritoneal dialysis for infantsis recommended to reduce morbidity and increasing the survival rate. Nonethelessthe giant bladder diverticules might be better managed by diverticulectomy procedure.
