Abstract
- Since Multicystic dysplastic kidney was first described by Curveilhier in 1836, more than 100 cases have been reported in the world with only two cases in Korea. It is a so one of the most frequently encountered abdominal mass in newborns. The kidney is composed grossly of large and irregularly sized cysts. The renal pedicle and pelvis present themselves ofter 2 atretic or hypoplastic. Microscopically, few or no functional elements may be recognized in loose connective tissue stroma. Isolated renal pelvic atresia has an excellent prognosis but lower ureteral atresia is associated with high incidence of contralateral renal disease and worse prognosis. Herein, we report a case of left multicystic dysplastic kidney combined with contralateral renal cystic disease with hydronephrosis and upper ureteral stricture in a 8-month-old male patient.
