uretero pelvic junction (upj) obstruction is a common cause of hydronephrosis in infants. the frequent use of fetal ultrasound is allowing early (prenatal) diagnosis of numerous uropathies previously delayed until the child either became symptomatic or had a palpable mass. newborn with severe obstruction often has marked improvement following correction, therefore, early diagnosis and operation...

We present an interesting case of a symptomatic high flow AV fistula between the right common iliac artery (CIA) and the inferior vena cava (IVC), successfully treated by endovascular coil embolization. The patient was found to have a right lower polar renal artery crossing the ipsilateral ureter arising from the CIA, causing pelvi-ureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction and recurrent pyelonephriti...

It is uncommon for children to have celiac artery compression syndrome. We describe a case of syndrome in young child who initially reported us with severe recurrent epigastric pain abdomen and nausea. Historical evidence rapid weight loss over 15 days. When the child's symptoms persisted despite symptomatic treatment, comprehensive testing revealed that had In this report, we emphasize signifi...

A 19-year-old female presented with bilateral severe loin pain associated with recurrent macroscopic haematuria. A provisional diagnosis of loin pain haematuria syndrome was made; the severity and frequency of pain led to referral to the pain management service. Alternative diagnoses were considered. Although previous reports of obstruction of the left renal vein have not described pain of this...

A splenorenal arterial anastomosis may be life-saving or result in renal salvage under a variety of circumstances. These may include thrombosis or aneurysm of the aorta, and obstruction, injury, aneurysm, or anomalies of the renal artery. The successful construction of a left splenorenal arterial anastomosis in a patient with ascending thrombosis of the abdominal aorta is presented. T HE term "...

a 32 year old man underwent renal transplantation for the third time. this procedure was performed in december 1994, using the kidney of a living unrelated donor. the first transplanted kidney remained in the body after rejection but the second one was removed due to trauma. end-to-end anastomosis of the renal artery to the inferior mesenteric artery was performed and the ureter was reimplanted...

Purpose: To determine the importance of MRI with contrast-enhanced MRA for the detection or exclusion of aberrant or obstructing renal arteries in ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children. Materials and Methods: Key word-based search in RIS database (ureteropelvic junction obstruction/ MRI) and retrospective comparison of arterial findings from preoperative contrast -enhanced MRA and intr...

ureteral obstruction is relatively common after renal transplantation. a rare cause is the inguinal herniation of the transplant ureter. we report a case of late allograft renal transplant failure due to ureteral herniation as well as ureterovesical junction stenosis.
