Widespread antenatal screening has resulted in increased detection of anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract. The present guidelines update the recommendations published in 2000. Antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH) is transient and resolves by the third trimester in almost one-half cases. The presence of oligohydramnios and additional renal or extrarenal anomalies suggests significant pathology....

Twelve pediatric patients with antenatal diagnosed urinary tract anomalies from 1988 to 1992 in Niigata University Hospital were clinically examined. 1: All patients were diagnosed by ultrasonography. Eleven cases did not have any abnormal pregnancy and other had oligohydramnious. 2: Postnatal surgical treatments were performed in 11 cases, but antenatal therapy was not performed in any case. 3...

Duplication of the lower urinary tract is a very rare congenital anomaly which is diagnosed either at birth or during early childhood. These rare malformations are most of the times accompanied by other concomitant anomalies and are therefore diagnosed immediately after birth. In some even rarer cases there are no concomitant anomalies and symptoms thus leading to a diagnosis later in childhood...

This article reviews the majority of Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT) with emphasis in Pediatric Pathology describing and illustrating lesions as varied as ureteral duplications, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, horseshoe kidney, posterior urethral valve and prune belly syndrome, obstructive renal dysplasia, nonmotile ciliopathies and several syndromes associated ...

Material and Methods: The present study was carried out in the department of Anatomy JNMC Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha, India. The study included 50 subjects divided in two equal groups as control and study group. The subjects had undergone X-ray KUB and Intravenous pyelography. Statistical analysis was done by using Chi Square Test and Test of Significance for single proportion i.e. Zvalue. Results...

Antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH) is one of the most common abnormal findings detected on prenatal ultrasound (US), and it has been reported in 1-5% of all pregnancies. The likelihood of significant postnatal pathologic abnormality in the urinary tract correlates with the degree of anterior-posterior diameter (APD) according to the gestational age. Detection of urologic anomalies prenatally permit...

Back ground: Urinary tract infection is one of the most common bacterial infections in pediatric group. Over the last decades the management of children with febrile urinary tract infection has become quite controversial. Although different guidelines had been designed to determine high risk cases, there is no global Consensus about imaging and follow up. In this chapter the author aim to discu...

Abstract Multicystic dysplastic kidney is a rare congenital anomaly of the and urinary tract. The association with posterior urethral valve also very rare. Here we present patient both entities prenatal resolution cysts. A 10-week old baby was referred for nephrourological work up due to diagnosis left multicystic kidney. He had serial US scans during pregnancy. Immediately before delivery cyst...

Congenital renal fusion anomalies, characterized by either partial or complete fusion of the two kidneys, are represented by horseshoe kidney, crossed renal ectopia with fusion and fused pelvic cake kidney. Though these anomalies may remain asymptomatic, in certain cases they may be associated with pathological conditions like nephrolithiasis, hydronephrosis, recurrent urinary tract infections,...
