Summary

Urinary tract dilation in children can be asymptomatic or present with symptoms. Imaging helps differentiate hydronephrosis from hydroureteronephrosis for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Urinary tract dilation is a common finding in children.
  • It can be associated with various symptoms including urinary tract infections and hematuria.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and demonstrate common and uncommon causes of urinary tract dilation (hydronephrosis and hydroureteronephrosis) in children.
  • To emphasize the importance of accurate imaging for diagnosis and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes standard radiographic techniques such as voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) and excretory urography (EU).
  • Complements radiographic findings with ultrasound and nuclear medicine studies.
  • Reviews imaging findings of various causes of hydronephrosis (HN) and hydroureteronephrosis (HUN).

Main Results:

  • Differentiates between hydronephrosis (HN) and hydroureteronephrosis (HUN).
  • Illustrates imaging findings for a spectrum of pediatric urinary tract dilation etiologies.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate imaging is crucial for differentiating HN from HUN in children.
  • Correct diagnosis based on imaging guides appropriate therapeutic management.
