Imaging Modalities in Horseshoe Kidney with Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney: USG, CT, DMSA and DTPA Scintigraphy
Unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is one of the most common abnormality and the most frequent cause of palpable abdominal mass in infants. The horseshoe kidney (HSK) is the anatomical fusion of upper or lower poles of the kidneys. HSK with MCDK is a very rare presentation. USG, CT, DMSA and DTPA or MAG3 scintigraphies can be used for the diagnosis of the disease. In literature search, we could not find HSK case with MCDK that is evaluated with USG, CT, DMSA and DTPA scintigraphies. We here report the usefullness of these imaging modalities in an 8-year-old boy that has HSK and MCDK of the left-sided component with minimal functioning parenchyma.
Multikistik Displastik Böbrekli Atnalı Böbrekte Görüntüleme Yöntemleri: USG, CT, DMSA ve DTPA Sintigrafisi
Tek taraflı multikistik displastik böbrek (MKDB) en yaygın anomalilerden biri olup, bebeklerdeki palpe edilebilen batın kitlesinin en sık sebebidir. At nalı böbrek (ANB), böbreklerin üst veya alt pollerinin anatomik füzyonudur. MKDB’li ANB çok nadir bir durumdur. USG, CT, DMSA ve DTPA veya MAG3 sintigrafisi hastalığın tanısında kullanılabilir. Literatür taramasında, USG, CT, DMSA ve DTPA sintigrafileri ile birlikte değerlendirilen MKDB’li ANB vakası bulamadık. Biz burada bu görüntüleme yöntemlerinin 8 yaşında erkek çocukta mevcut olan sol taraflı minimal fonksiyone parankim izlenen MKDB komponentli ANB’deki kullanılırlığını sunuyoruz.
