IMAGING OF NEONATAL HYDRONEPHROSIS
Keywords:
Kidney, Ultrasound, Radionuclide renogramAbstract
We found 4 babies of age range 46 days to 6 years suffering from hydronephrosis as confirmed by ultrasonography. The older boy and the girl also had a radionuclide renogram under computerized gamma camera using technetium 99 metastable diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Tc 99mm DTPA). The younger boy had a posterior urethral valve causing bilateral hydronephrosis and was improved by uro-surgical procedure as shown by clinical and sonographic follow-up.
