| Popis: | The urinary tract is a common site of tuberculosis, which causes significant morbidity in the form of chronic renal disease. T uberculosis is not only common in developing countries but with the spurt in the number of immune-suppressed patients and the increasing incidence of drug -resistant strains, an increase in the number of patients suffering from genitourinary tuberculosis is expected even in developed countries. Genitourinary tuberculosis occurs owing to haematogenous dissemination of tubercular bacilli. Urinary tract tuberculosis can result in complications such as ureteric stricture, chronic pyelonephritis and papillary necrosis, resulting in compromised renal function. This renal compromise makes it prudent to avoid contrast- enhanced studies if other alternatives are available. There is a dearth of-cases of papillary necrosis reported on static MR urogram. The authors report a case of tuberculosis complicated by papillary necrosis on both CT urogram and static MR urogram. |
