Eight children forming an uncommon subgroup of renal obstructive dysplasia are presented. Each child had a nonfunctioning dysplastic kidney with a single collecting system with ectopic ureteral insertion and/or ureterocele. Five of the children had classic multicystic dysplastic kidneys, one had the hydronephrotic type of multicystic dysplastic kidney and two had hypoplastic kidneys. Other significant medical problems in 5 of the 8 children (63%) included VACTERL association, congenital heart disease and other genitourinary malformations. Unlike some children with unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney, this subgroup of children has an increased risk of infection. They must be correctly identified on imaging so that tailored clinical management decisions can be made and associated anomalies detected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
