    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Renal cysts in infants are rare and can pose diagnostic challenges.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and to avoid unnecessary interventions.

    Observation:

    • Two infants under one year of age presented with suspected renal cysts.
    • Clinical presentation and imaging suggested the presence of renal cystic lesions.

    Findings:

    • Percutaneous puncture of the renal cysts was performed in both cases.
    • Cyst fluid aspiration via percutaneous puncture facilitated definitive diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Percutaneous cyst puncture is a valuable, minimally invasive diagnostic tool for infantile renal cysts.
    • This approach can obviate the need for surgical exploration in select cases.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis through minimally invasive means improves infant outcomes.
