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...

Congenital anomalies of the kidney and ureter are a significant cause of morbidity in foetus, neonate, infancy and adulthood. Radiological investigations provide a foundation for diagnosing these conditions giving vital clinical information. Various imaging modalities used to diagnose these anomalies are intravenous urography (IVU), voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), Computed tomography (CT), Mag...

BACKGROUND Retrograde urethrogram and voiding cystourethrogram are used to define length and location of urethral stricture prior to surgery. We used a single dose of silodosin prior to VCUG to relax the bladder neck and achieve visualization of posterior urethra. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of silodosin in visualization of posterior urethra during VCUG, and to compare the findings wi...

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine if impaired distal ureteral contraction detected by urinary ultrasonography (US) could predict presence vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Materials and Methods: A Retrospective analysis patients’ files between November 2016 September 2020 performed. total 248 children with demonstrated VUR on voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) who underwent US within on...

Not infrequently, in pediatric practice one is confronted by anxious parents of children with voiding abnormalities. These include children who wet themselves, have frequent micturtion, urgency or dribbling. In these subjects investigations like urinalysis, renal ultrasound, intravenous urogram or voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) are usually conducted. Often, the results of these investigations ...

conclusions silodosin use prior to vcug confers a statistically significant increase in bladder neck opening and visualization of posterior urethra. results in group a 19 out of 20 patients were able to achieve satisfactory bladder neck opening while in group b 10 out of 15 patients were able to achieve bladder neck opening. patients and methods patients were divided into two groups a and b con...

Voiding cystourethrograms (VCUG) are often considered in the evaluation of infants with febrile urinary tract infection (UTI), but there few additional clear indications for performing them outside recurrent UTI itself. Hydronephrosis and scarring on kidney ultrasound (US) included several guidelines from consensus organizations, including those American Academy Pediatrics (AAP), National Insti...

CLINICAL PROBLEM We diagnosed 8 patients with late-stage posterior urethral valves (PUV) between 1 and 14 years of age. Five patients complained of symptoms related to voiding dysfunction. The other 3 patients required urethrocystoscopy for other reasons (hypospadias fistulae, difficulty with catheterisation and high-grade vesicoureteral reflux [VUR]). A second review of the first 2 patients' m...

UNLABELLED Prenatal ultrasonography has revolutionized the detection and management of many urological abnormalities. Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) which develops in 10% to 15% of cases of prenatal hydronephrosis, is difficult to predict prenatally. While all children with prenatal hydronephrosis should undergo ultrasonography within the first few weeks of life, there seems to be controversy rega...
