Pelviureteric obstruction in childhood

D J Alton

    Radiologic Clinics of North America
    |April 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pelviureteric junction obstruction, a common childhood intra-abdominal mass, is diagnosed via intravenous urography. Further tests like voiding cystourethrogram or diuretic studies can assess obstruction and exclude other conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Pelviureteric junction obstruction is a frequent cause of intra-abdominal masses in children.
    • Diagnosis often relies on identifying characteristic signs of obstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the diagnostic approach for pelviureteric junction obstruction in children.
    • To emphasize the role of imaging and functional studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Intravenous urography is the primary diagnostic tool.
    • Voiding cystourethrogram is used to rule out associated vesicoureteral reflux.
    • Diuretic renography or pressure-flow studies can further evaluate obstruction.

    Main Results:

    • Characteristic signs of obstruction on intravenous urography aid diagnosis.
    • Exclusion of vesicoureteral reflux is crucial for management planning.
    • Functional studies provide detailed assessment of obstruction severity.

    Conclusions:

    • A systematic diagnostic pathway involving urography and further functional studies is essential.
    • Accurate diagnosis of pelviureteric junction obstruction guides appropriate pediatric care.
