Abstract:
Infrequent voiding is defined as two or less micturitions in a day without organic causes. It can lead to bladder capacity enlargement and increase in the volume of residual urine and as a consequence it may produce recurrent urinary tract infections(UTI) and or renal damages. We report a case of acute pyelonephritis due to infrequent voiding in a 13 year old girl. The imaging studies revealed floating debris in the bladder on VCUG and dilated ureter on ultrasonography, and parenchymal defects on 99mTc DMSA scan.
