BACKGROUND Hydronephrosis is the one of the most common congenital abnormalities of urinary tract. The left kidney is more commonly affected than the right side and is more common in males. AIM OF THE STUDY To determine the role of ultrasonography, renal dynamic scintigraphy and lowerdose computed tomography urography in preoperative diagnostic workup of infant with extreme hydronephrosis. ...

The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility, accuracy and diagnostic potential of combined static-excretory MR Urography in children with sonographically detected hydronephrosis. We prospectively evaluated 28 children (11 girls and 17 boys), mean age 8.3 years (range 2 months-16 years). Static-excretory MR Urography was performed in all cases. The results of MR Urography were compare...

Renal fusion anomalies, in which both kidneys are fused togeher in early embyronic life, are rarely encountered. Once a fused kidney is diagnosed or suspected, further laboratory and imaging evaluation should be performed to assess the status of the kidneys and to look for treatable causes of renal pathology. The early dignosis of potential complications that can accompany this anomaly must be ...

The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of ultrasonography and urography in evaluating patients presenting with painless gross haematuria for urinary malignancies. From October 1992 to March 1997, 468 consecutive patients presenting with painless gross haematureia were prospectively investigated. Ultrasonography and urography were performed independently, followed by diagnosti...

OBJECTIVES To assess whether ultrasonography alone is adequate for routine screening of childhood urinary infection, whether clinical features determine the need for further investigations, and which investigations are most appropriate. DESIGN Prospective survey of children with proved urinary infection and a preinvestigation record of clinical features. Ultrasonography and intravenous urogra...
