Occurrence of Supernumerary Nipples in Newborns

Occurrence of Supernumerary Nipples in Children with Kidney and Urinary Tract Malformations

“…Our findings are consistent with those of the newborn study of Mimouni et al. (10) who found no renal anomalies in 43 Israeli infants with SNN and Kenney et al. (12) who found only 1 case of KUTM among 49 newborns (45 of them black) with SNN.…”

“…Nevertheless, these are the screening methods that are recommended for renal anomalies. Third, our study was based on a selected population of Israeli children, that is, those who were followed for recurrent UTI; we believe, however, that our ®ndings are representative of the general population, since the prevalence of SNN was within the limits reported in other studies (2,8,10,12,14).…”

Accessory Nipples: Any Relationship to Urinary Tract Malformation?

“…The association of AN and urinary tract anomalies was first proposed by Mehes (1) and has been reemphasized lately (12). Studies of the association with conflicting conclusions were reported from Israel (4,5), where various ethnic origins are present. We attempted to find if an ethnic frequency prevails.…”

Accessory Nipples and Associated Conditions

“…The authors of one study who failed to find an association concluded that no further investigation is required in asymptomatic children with AN (5). Similar conclusions have been reached by others (4,12). Furthermore, sludies supporting these a.ssociations are notably absent in black Americans (2) (known to have a higher incidence of AN (12)).…”
