URETEROPELVIC JUNCTION OBSTRUCTION (UPJO) PRESENTED AS HEMATURIA.
Abstract
A boy of7 years presented with hematuria following a trivial trauma (fall on floor). On clinical examination, a small mass was palpable in the left loin, which was correlated to be the hydronephrotic left kidney (7x 11cm in size) on ultrasonography (USG). Radionuclide renogram under computerized gamma camera (Siemens, Germany) using Tc99 DTPA showed normally functioning right kidney and left renal obstruction (Fig. 1). Pyeloplasty was advised.
