Abstract:
A 2-month-old female infant with an initial symptomatic presentation of fever suffered from persistent febrile urinary tract infections and was treated with antibiotics. Further evaluation including voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan, intravenous urography (IVU) showed a ureterocele and hydroureteronephrosis in the upper moiety of a left duplicated kidney. Endoscopic incision of the ureterocele was successful in treating the ureterocele, urinary tract infection and salvaging the function of the upper moiety of the kidney in a 1-year follow-up visit.
