PURPOSE This study assessed whether (99m)technetium dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy used for the assessment of renal sequelae after febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) has any prognostic value for outcome measurement of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) by retrospectively evaluating the correlation between abnormal DMSA scintigraphy results and persistence of VUR in children with febril...

Two children with acute urinary retention due to obstructing bladder diverticula are presented. This is an extremely rare but significant complication of congenital bladder diverticulum. The possible mechanisms of this complication are discussed. Voiding cystourethrography can provide the correct diagnosis.

BACKGROUND Although 98% of children attain daytime bladder control by three years of age, urinary incontinence is regarded physiological up to the fifth year of life. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess whether lower urinary tract urological abnormalities and abnormal urodynamic findings are infrequent in children with physiological urinary incontinence in contrast to those with non-monosym...
