Objective: The aim of this study was to determine if impaired distal ureteral contraction detected by urinary ultrasonography (US) could predict presence vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Materials and Methods: A Retrospective analysis patients’ files between November 2016 September 2020 performed. total 248 children with demonstrated VUR on voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) who underwent US within on...

Injury to the genitourinary tract is rare, with an incidence of less than 1%. Younger men (mean age, approximately 30 years) are predominantly affected. We introduce unusual case a 25-year-old male patient complete urethral injury combined severe open pelvic bone fracture. During emergency surgery, primary realignment posterior urethra could not be performed due large defect. With suprapubic cy...

Radiologic imaging of the newborn detected prenatally with hydronephrosis should follow a systematic approach. Upper and lower urinary tract imaging should be performed in most cases in order to determine the etiology and gauge the use of future imaging. An overview of renal ultrasound, voiding cystourethrography, renal scintigraphy, and magnetic resonance urography in the setting of antenatal ...

OBJECTIVES To determine the impact of using an algorithm requiring selective rather than routine urinary tract imaging following a first febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) on imaging use, detection of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), prophylactic antibiotic use, and UTI recurrence within 6 months. DESIGN Retrospective review comparing outcomes during periods before algorithm use (September 1, ...

background the prevalence of vesicoureteral reflux (vur) is higher in enuretic children than in non-enuretic children. recent studies have reported vur in 6–23% of children with enuresis. objectives to clarify the association of nocturnal enuresis with vesicoureteral reflux (vur) and to identify children who are at risk for vur. conclusions vur is uncommon in children with mne and in those with...

INTRODUCTION The management of neonates with congenital hydronephrosis (CHN) diagnosed antenatally is still controversial. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective study was performed in all newborn infants with CHN born over a 2-year period in order to identify which neonates require a full radiologic investigation including investigation with invasive tests such as voiding cystoureterography (VC...

OBJECTIVE Dysfunctional voiding is a major problem leading to daytime-wetting and recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI). Our center is devoted to treating children with dysfunctional voiding. We offer a multidisciplinary approach with a pediatric nephrologist, nurse practitioners, and a psychologist. This article is the first to describe the efficacy of this approach on a large population of ...

OBJECTIVE The study compared children's reports of two medical events, to assess the effects of the type of event on children's recall. Additionally, the study examined the effect of props on children's event reports. METHOD Twenty children between the ages of 37 and 67 months were interviewed following either a voiding cysto-urethrogram (VCUG) or a pediatric assessment (PA) at a hospital. In...

Not infrequently, in pediatric practice one is confronted by anxious parents of children with voiding abnormalities. These include children who wet themselves, have frequent micturtion, urgency or dribbling. In these subjects investigations like urinalysis, renal ultrasound, intravenous urogram or voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) are usually conducted. Often, the results of these investigations ...

Prolapse of the ureterocele and its presentation as a vulval mass is an extremely rare condition. There are no detailed imaging findings of such cases in the literature. We present voiding cystourethrography and MRI findings of a newborn girl with a ureterocele extending through the urethra.
