Kernspintomographie als Prim�rdiagnostik ektop m�ndender Harnleiter bei dysplastischer Niere

Abstract: Ectopic ureters associated with dysplastic kidneys remain a diagnostic dilemma. Ultrasound, endoscopy as well as intravenous urography do not always show correct urinary tract morphology and function. We report the case of a 6-year-old girl with continuous urine dribbling to demonstrate the diagnostic value of MR urography.

MR imaging is being increasingly used for the diagnosis of congenital urinary tract obstruction. The following conditions have to be fulfilled to provide an MR urography technique which is useful for the pediatric age group: (1) the combination of morphology and function, (2) a high-resolution morphological image, (3) a morphological image independent of kidney function, (4) reliable determination of split renal function and (5) of urinary excretion. This is best accomplished with a combination of a T1-weighted fast GE sequence post-contrast and a heavily T2-weighted 3D IR-TSE sequence. Selected sequence parameters are important for optimization as well as for a correct functional assessment. Then MR urography is superior to the conventional methods of excretory urography, ultrasound, and scintigraphy in the morphological depiction of the urinary tract even of complex malformations as well as in a detailed functional assessment. In particular, this method is useful in the situation of complicated duplex kidneys, dystopic kidneys, unclear morphology, or discrepant former results and perioperative assessment. The main advantages are avoiding radiation and obtaining a simultaneous functional-morphological diagnosis.
