An 8-year-old boy presented with a history of congenital hydronephrosis. The postnatal sonogram showed an enlarged right kidney with cortical thinning and markedly dilated calyces without associated pelviectasis (Fig. 1). Intravenous pyelogram confirmed the marked right calyceal dilatation. The pelvis and ureters were normal and there was no evidence of obstruction, with prompt and fairly symmetric opacification of the upper collecting systems (Fig. 2).
