Summary
Two cases of aberrant renal papilla were diagnosed using intravenous pyelogram (IVP) and ultrasound. Differentiating this rare condition from other renal pelvis filling defects is crucial.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Radiology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Aberrant renal papilla is an uncommon condition affecting the renal pelvis.
- Accurate diagnosis is essential to differentiate it from other renal filling defects.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe two additional cases of aberrant renal papilla.
- To emphasize the importance of differential diagnosis for this condition.
Main Methods:
- Diagnosis was established using intravenous pyelogram (IVP).
- Ultrasound imaging was employed for corroboration.
Main Results:
- Two patients presented with symptoms: one with prostatism and another with renal colic.
- Both cases were successfully diagnosed using the combined imaging techniques.
Conclusions:
- Aberrant renal papilla requires careful differential diagnosis.
- IVP and ultrasound are valuable tools for identifying this rare condition.
