A prospective study of 30 renal units in 27 patients with double pigtail ureteral stents seen at our hospital was done. The aim of the study was to confirm or rule out the occurrence of vesicoureteral reflux radiologically, and to define its degree in stented patients. During the filling phase of the cystourethrogram, reflux occurred in 19 of the 30 renal units (63%). Of those 19 renal units th...

Congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula and megalourethra are both rare anomalies. These anomalies are commonly associated with other anorectal or genitourinary anomalies and evaluated with voiding cystourethrography. We examined a 34-month-old boy who presented with a fistula at the penoscrotal junction. A voiding cystourethrogram showed a jet of urine coming through the fistula and proxi...

Congenital anomalies of the kidney and ureter are a significant cause of morbidity in foetus, neonate, infancy and adulthood. Radiological investigations provide a foundation for diagnosing these conditions giving vital clinical information. Various imaging modalities used to diagnose these anomalies are intravenous urography (IVU), voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), Computed tomography (CT), Mag...

Anterior urethral valves (AUVs) is an unusual cause of congenital obstruction of the male urethra, being 15-30 times less common than posterior urethral valves. We present a case of AUV diagnosed at 24th gestational week. Ultrasonography and fetal MRI revealed hydronephrotic kidneys with ureteral duplicity, a distended bladder and perineal cystic mass which confirmed dilated anterior urethra in...

conclusions silodosin use prior to vcug confers a statistically significant increase in bladder neck opening and visualization of posterior urethra. results in group a 19 out of 20 patients were able to achieve satisfactory bladder neck opening while in group b 10 out of 15 patients were able to achieve bladder neck opening. patients and methods patients were divided into two groups a and b con...
