This study details a complex case of a child with sacral agenesis and a cake kidney, successfully treated for renal failure and urinary issues through surgical intervention, leading to improved kidney function and voiding.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Congenital Abnormalities

Context:

  • Sacral agenesis is linked to neurogenic bladder dysfunction.
  • Ectopic kidneys, like cake kidneys, can present with renal dysplasia or urine transport issues.
  • Recurrent urinary tract infections and vesicoureteral reflux complicated a child's presentation.

Purpose:

  • To describe the diagnostic and surgical management of a complex case involving sacral agenesis and a right-sided cake kidney in a pediatric patient.
  • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of surgical intervention for renal failure secondary to urinary tract infections and vesicoureteral reflux in this specific anatomical context.

Summary:

  • A 5-year-old boy with sacral agenesis and a cake kidney experienced progressive renal failure due to recurrent urinary tract infections, incomplete bladder emptying, and vesicoureteral reflux.

  • Surgical exploration revealed inaccurate preoperative renal function estimates. The management involved resection of the dysplastic right collecting system and megaureter, anti-refluxive ureteral implantation, and detrusor duplication for megacystis.
  • Post-operative follow-up at three years showed the patient voiding without residual urine or infections, with improved renal function and proteinuria, and controlled renal hypertension.

    • Impact:

    • Demonstrates the successful surgical correction of complex congenital urinary tract anomalies in a pediatric patient.
    • Highlights the importance of surgical intervention in managing renal failure secondary to urinary stasis and infection in cases of sacral agenesis and ectopic kidneys.
    • Provides evidence for improved long-term outcomes, including renal function and quality of life, following multi-stage reconstructive surgery.
