Iatrogenic bladder injuries have been reported in the neonate during umbilical artery/vein catheterization, voiding cystourethrogram, urinary catheterizations, and overwhelming hypoxic conditions. Patients with iatrogenic bladder perforations can present with acute abdomen indicating urinary peritonitis, septic-uremic shock, or subtle symptoms like abdominal distension, pain, hematuria, uremia,...

this study was conducted to investigate whether the length of the interval between a urinary tract infection and the performance of the voiding cystourethrogram influences the presence or severity of vesicoureteral reflux (vur). in this study 161 children with first episode of urinary tract infection were evaluated. depending on time of performance of voiding cystourethrogram (vcug), patients d...

BACKGROUND Guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend obtaining a voiding cystourethrogram and a renal ultrasonogram for young children after a first urinary tract infection; renal scanning with technetium-99m-labeled dimercaptosuccinic acid has also been endorsed by other authorities. We investigated whether imaging studies altered management or improved outcomes in young chi...

AbsractThis study investigated a 63-day boy with end stage renal disease and abdominalcysts. The antenatal sonography detected anhydraminos, posterior urethral valve,and cystic dysplastic kidneys. Voiding cystourethrogram revealed two obstructivegiant diverticula which at first looked like enlarged renal pelvis. The patient had persistenturinary tract infection and perforation of diverticula.
