Abstract:
Unilateral renal agenesis is uncommon congenital condition with important implication when operation is performed. We report on two cases of unilateral renal agenesis but blind loop of ureter in a 2 year male child with vesical diverticulum and a 8 year old girl with contralateral hydronephrosis. An excretory urogram of the former revealed nonvisualization of left kidney and normal right kidney, it of the latter showed marked hydronephrosis of right kidney and nonvisualization of left kidney. These cases were finally confirmed by exploratory surgery with transvesical retrograde pyelography and histopathological findings of resected surgical specimen.
