A Case of Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney Presenting as a Single Midline Pelvic Cyst.
Case Rep Nephrol Dial
July 2023
We present an unusual case of a female neonate presenting with a single midline pelvic cyst. Prenatal imaging was suggestive of multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK), but postnatal imaging was atypical for this diagnosis given the location and singular cyst noted. The patient ultimately underwent surgical exploration and was diagnosed with an ectopic MCDK.

Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients with OAB.
Inclusion Criteria: age 5-13 years and willingness to try TENS.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to identify factors affecting follow-up treatments of onabotulinumtoxinA for overactive bladder through a mixed-methods approach, combining chart reviews and patient surveys.
- - Among 29.3% of patients receiving a single treatment and 70.7% receiving multiple treatments, those with multiple treatments reported better symptom improvement and comfort, as well as a better understanding of the necessity for repeat treatments.
- - Findings highlight that patient comfort and knowledge significantly influence retreatment decisions, suggesting the need for enhanced counseling and education for patients undergoing the procedure.
Introduction: Minimally invasive (robotic and pure laparoscopic) pyeloplasty has been increasingly used for treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). However, few large-scale studies have compared these two modalities directly.
Methods: We performed a retrospective single-center review of all patients who underwent pure laparoscopic (LP) or robotic pyeloplasty (RALP) between 2007 and 2018.
Introduction: Patients with gonadal dysgenesis (GD) with a Y chromosome have an increased risk of gonadal neoplasm. Few data exist on the ability of imaging to detect malignancy in intra-abdominal gonads in these patients.
Objective: We aimed to determine the correlation between preoperative imaging findings and gonadal pathology in GD patients with Y chromosome material.
