Partial fungal obstruction of the renal collecting system is an unusual finding among infants that poses specific management problems. We report a patient with sepsis and fungal infection of the kidneys post surgery who presented with bilateral fungus balls and was successfully managed by conservative measures. Sonography is the imaging technique of choice in the diagnosis and follow-up of such patients. The need for prompt diagnosis in high-risk patients and the role of sonography are discussed.
