urinary tract infection (uti) may lead to irreversible changes in renal parenchyma. early diagnosis using scintigraphy with technetium-99 m -labeled dimercaptosuccinic acid (dmsa) scan and early treatment may decrease or prevent development of renal parenchymal lesions. the aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of renal parenchymal lesion in children admitted with a first-time symptoma...

BACKGROUND Penile duplication (diphallus) is an extremely rare disorder. It is almost always associated with other malformations like double bladder, exstrophy of the cloacae, imperforate anus, duplication of the rectosigmoid and vertebral deformities. Meanwhile anal canal duplication, the most distal and least common duplication of the digestive tube and is a very rare congenital malformation....

OBJECTIVE Multicystic dysplastic kidney is a relatively common developmental abnormality in infants and children. Additional abnormalities like vesicoureteral reflux, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, and ureterovesical junction obstruction may accompany multicystic dysplastic kidney. In this article, we reviewed the pathogenesis, diagnosis, associated urinary tract anomalies and results of m...

BACKGROUND To compare the incidence of residual high-grade vesicoureteral reflux (HVUR) (≥Grade III) in neurogenic bladder patients receiving augmentation cystoplasty alone or with simultaneous ureteral reimplantation. Furthermore, we also tried to find the risk factors of residual VUR and febrile urinary tract infection. METHODS Between 1999 and 2009, urinary bladder augmentation was perform...

BACKGROUND Endoscopic treatment using glutaraldehyde cross-linked (GAX) collagen was conducted on 4 children with bilateral primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)..... a 1-year-old boy and three 5- to 8-year-old girls $B!D (Ball having a history of repeated hospitalization for fever due to acute pyelonephritis, visiting as pediatric outpatients regularly and receiving antibiotics continuously. By ...

BACKGROUND antenatal variant of Bartter syndrome is characterized by a history of polyhydramnios, premature birth, metabolic alkalosis, hypokalemia, polyuria and renal salt wasting. In this report we present a premature female baby with antenatal Barter syndrome who had three episodes of urinary tract infection (UTI), without evidence for congenital anomaly of the kidneys or urinary tract. ME...

OBJECTIVE In view of the side effects of voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), identification of noninvasive markers predicting the presence of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is important. This study was conducted to determine the predictive value of serum interleukin-8 (IL-8) in diagnosis of VUR in children with first febrile urinary tract infection (UTI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty children wit...

introduction: penile agenesis (pa) and diphallus (dp) are extremely rare genital anomaly in children. numerous associated anomalies have been described with these malformations. these patients need several investigations and finally surgical intervention.   material & methods: in a retrospective study, 14 patients who were treated for phallus malformation in mofid children’s hospital from janua...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of Technetium Tc 99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA) renal scintigraphy in the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children with suspected infection but with a negative urine culture. MATERIALS AND METHODS The records of all children with suspected or definite diagnosis of UTI presented during a 2-year period were ...
