Abstract:
In a male infant profuse flank urine drainage developed after heminephrectomy for ureterocele. Cystograms then showed bilateral vesicoureteral reflux where none had been present preoperatively. The flank drainage resolved promptly after catheter drainage of the bladder. Decompression of a ureterocele may cause initiation of vesicoureteral reflex.
