Background The aim of this study was comparison characteristics of family and demographics of children with antenatal hydronephrosis, in 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy, in order to the need for postnatal management. Methods This cross-sectional study described some information from family of children with antenatal hydronephrosis, at the Pediatric Urology Research Center of Children's Hos...

Radiological study Excluding repeat investigations, 1,525 successful intravenous pyelograms, comprising all those performed on African and Indian patients during 1964, were reviewed. In addition to noting the original radiological reports, we re-examined the radiographs for abnormalities, including evidence of possible bilharziasis. When either hydronephrosis or radiographic non-function of a k...

Diagnosing acute appendicitis in children can be difficult due to atypical presenting symptoms. While there are reported cases of acute appendicitis or appendiceal masses causing unilateral hydronephrosis, bilateral hydronephrosis as a complication of appendiceal mass is very rare. We report a case of a child who presented with cardinal symptomatology associated with the urogenital tract. Ultra...

We reviewed the outcome of fetal hydronephrosis with a renal pelvic dilatation (RPD) of 4-7 mm to assess whether a RPD > 7 mm had a higher predictive value for renal pathology. 373 fetuses were diagnosed with hydronephrosis giving an incidence of 2.2%. The male: female ratio was 1.8:1. 5(1.34%) fetuses with antenatal hydronephrosis were diagnosed with Down Syndrome. 299 (91.7% fetuses with an R...

1. Differentiate genitourinary abnormalities associated with hydronephrosis detected on fetal ultrasonography. 2. Describe the type of fetal hydronephrosis that requires a complete uroradiologic evaluation. 3. Characterize the complete postnatal uroradiologic evaluation of significant fetal hydronephrosis. 4. Delineate the factor that sets the timetable for postnatal uroradiologic evaluation. 5...
