Learning objectives Identify and illustrate the different upper urinary tract malformations Remind briefly the embryological development of the upper urinary tract to comprehend its malformations
Read more Background Malformations of the upper urinary tract are frequently diagnosed in children, even with the development of early diagnosis tools including fetal ultrasound and MRI, some of them still get a late diagnosis due mostly to the unavailability of these methods, or the malformation being asymptomatic.
Read more Findings and procedure details Malformations of the upper urinary tract define a wide spectrum of disorders that occur in 3%-10% of the population, accounting for 50% of all congenital abnormalities. They are frequently associated with other congenital anomalies.To make it simple, we’ll directly dive into the subject and divide these malformations into anomalies of renal form, including structural anomalies and fusion anomalies, anomalies of renal position, renal number, and anomalies of development of the urinary collecting system.IMAGING APPROACH: Antenatal screening ultrasonography allows the exploration...
Read more Conclusion Upper urinary tract malformations include a wide spectrum of disorders, accounting for 50% of all congenital abnormalities, while most of them have no clinical significance, some can lead to serious complications. Prompt and early diagnosis is essential to avoid these complications.
