Abstract:
A 3-year-old girl with a chief complaint of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) for 3 years was admitted in our center. Urinary ultrasonography showed left hydronephrosis with ureteral dilatation and left solitary kidney. Voiding cystourethrography indicated left vesicoureteral reflux and trabeculated bladder wall. Urodynamics study revealed the low flow rate and high detrusor pressure. Cystoscopy showed trabeculated bladder wall with elevation of the bladder neck. Then we performed transurethral bladder neck incision tentatively. The patient recovered from LUTS and the upper urinary tract dilation disappeared postoperatively.
