The antenatally detected pelvi-ureteric junction stenosis: advances in renography and strategy of management

Authors: Khalid Ismaili, Amy Piepsz

Published in: Pediatric Radiology | Issue 4/2013

Abstract

This review includes an analysis of new developments in the field of renography, the predictive factors suggesting the need for pyeloplasty in cases of pelvi-utereric stenosis detected antenatally and integration of the pelvi-ureteric junction stenosis within the framework of antenatally detected hydronephrosis.
