Hydronephrosis is a common finding in urinary tract outflow obstruction. Chronically obstructed hydronephrotic system may be associated with parenchymal changes. Ultrasound, intravenous urography, micturating cysto-urethrogram and scintigraphy are commonly performed to evaluate the cause of obstruction. In childhood, pelviureteric junction obstruction is a common cause of the hydronephrosis. Hy...

Congenital ureteric obstruction caused by a ureteric valve is an extremely rare entity. Our patient, a 6-year-old male, had undergone evaluation for recurrent pain in the left lower part of abdomen and was diagnosed as a case of left hydrouretronehrosis on ultrasound abdomen. Intravenous urography revealed left hydronephrosis and hydroureter with a cut-off in mid –ureteric region. Micturating c...

Herein we present a rare ureteric duplication anomaly; blind ending bifid ureter with calculi which is asymptomatic unless complicated by infection, reflux, calculi or malignancy. The diagnosis is often missed at intravenous urography (IVU) and US because the ipsilateral ureter and kidney are grossly normal. In this case the diagnosis was established with ultrasound (US) and mainly with multide...

A 41 years lady presented with 13 years history of urinary incontinence alongwith menouria, which had developed after the first vaginal delivery. However, she had four normal vaginal deliveries later. Intravenous urography showed normal flow on both sides but there was spillage of contrast from the urinary bladder into the uterus, in the cystographic phase. Cystoscopy showed a fistulous opening...

Renal function was studied in 61 girls suffering from recurrent urinary tract infections, with at least one febrile infection. Clearance of inulin was determined. Intravenous urography and micturating cystourethrography were performed 1-6 months after the first infection and 0-6 months before or after the function test. A low glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was found only among children with t...

Nephrogenic metaplasia is a benign tumor characterized by urothelial tubulo papillary structures. It is also called nephrogenic adenoma. It is a benin lesion and highly prone to recurrency. We report a case of a bladder nephrogenic metaplasia of a 65 years old patient with hematuria and POLLAKIURIA. Clinical examination was normal. Ultrasonography showed a circumferential thickening bladder, wh...

During screening of 16,800 primary schoolgirls, aged 4-12 years, in Cardiff and Oxford, significant bacteriuria was found in 294 (1-7%). Intravenous urography and micturating cystography were performed in 246 of these girls. The urinary tract was abnormal in 47%. Pyelonephritis with or without vesicoureteric reflux was present in 26% and reflux without renal abnormality in a further 16%. The pr...

Magnetic resonance (MR) urography has an expanding role as a problem solving tool in treated cancer. Hydronephrosis is common with abdominopelvic neoplasms and whilst the majority are satisfactorily investigated by urography, ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), invasive imaging or endourological techniques, some hydronephroses remain unexplained. These may occur in patients with renal im...

AIM The aim of this study is to prove the advantages of combined use of T2 weighted three dimensional (T2 W 3D) and T1 weighted three dimensional contrast medium enhanced (T1 W 3D CE) magnetic resonance (MR) urography in displaying urinary tract in child population. MATERIAL AND METHODS Total of 120 patients were included in the study, 71 (59%) male patients and 49 (41%) female patients. The ...
