Two children with acute urinary retention due to obstructing bladder diverticula are presented. This is an extremely rare but significant complication of congenital bladder diverticulum. The possible mechanisms of this complication are discussed. Voiding cystourethrography can provide the correct diagnosis.

Thirty three healthy infants and children with a family history of reflux nephropathy or vesicoureteric reflux in first degree relatives were screened for upper urinary tract abnormalities (renal scarring or pelvicaliceal dilatation) using ultrasound scanning or intravenous urography, or both. In addition, micturating cystourethrography was carried out in all infants and children under 2 years ...

Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is a commonly performed diagnostic procedure for the evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux with urinary tract infection or congenital renal diseases in children. The procedure is relatively simple and cost-effective, and complications are very rare. The iatrogenic complication of VCUG range from discomfort, urinary tract infection to bacteremia, as well as bladde...

vesicoureteral reflux (vur) is a relatively common and important entity in children. vur can expose patient to risk of pyelonephritis, permanent renal damage or scar. vur itself has no deleterious effect on kidney parenchyma until the development of infection or increased intravesical pressure.   the diagnosis of vur could lead to appropriate therapy and prevention of long term complications. t...

Injury to the genitourinary tract is rare, with an incidence of less than 1%. Younger men (mean age, approximately 30 years) are predominantly affected. We introduce unusual case a 25-year-old male patient complete urethral injury combined severe open pelvic bone fracture. During emergency surgery, primary realignment posterior urethra could not be performed due large defect. With suprapubic cy...

This work aimed to standardize and state” the insufficiencies outlined variation in image quality, among some hospitals Sudan for a common specific radiologic examinations. A subjective evaluation of 1,103 reproductions from “363 special procedures including Intravenous Urography (IVU), Hysterosalpingography (HSG), GIT barium studies” Micturating Cystourethrography (MCUG), Ent...

Bladder rupture is rare during infancy and most of reported cases had urethral obstruction or neurogenic bladder. We report two cases of infantile bladder rupture during voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). This report reinforces the criteria for proper VCUG imaging procedure. Consideration of expected bladder volume for body weight, and close monitoring of bladder pressure and injection speed co...

Radiologic imaging of the newborn detected prenatally with hydronephrosis should follow a systematic approach. Upper and lower urinary tract imaging should be performed in most cases in order to determine the etiology and gauge the use of future imaging. An overview of renal ultrasound, voiding cystourethrography, renal scintigraphy, and magnetic resonance urography in the setting of antenatal ...
