Vesicoureteral reflux is very common in children, requiring a long follow-up period to reduce its progression toward chronic renal failure. This study aims to analyze the epidemiological diagnostic features, the management of vesicoureteral reflux and long term course of patients with this disease. We conducted a retrospective study of 42 patients with suspected vesicoureteral reflux hospitalized in the Department of Visceral Paediatric Surgery at the Hassan II University Hospital of Fez over a period of 6 years from January 2010 to December 2015.

We report a case of PELVIS (perineal hemangioma, external genital malformations, lipomyelomeningocele, vesicorenal abnormalities, imperforate anus and skin tag) syndrome in which hemangioma in the perineal area was misdiagnosed at birth as diaper rash. Investigations revealed associated vesicorenal and spinal abnormalities. We emphasize careful diagnosis of suspicious lesions at birth and confirm the successful use of propranolol in treating ulcerated segmental hemangiomas.
