AI Article Synopsis
- Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a frequent urological issue in children, often treated with ureteral reimplantation for severe cases.
- The procedure is usually well tolerated, but risks complications such as ureteral obstruction post-surgery.
- A case is described where a 3-year-old with Williams Beuren syndrome developed bilateral ureteral obstruction and acute renal failure shortly after undergoing this surgery, necessitating nephrostomy tubes within 48 hours.
Article Abstract
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common urological problem in the pediatric population and can be corrected by ureteral reimplantation in severe or persistent cases. This procedure is generally well tolerated, although complications, including ureteral obstruction, may occur in the postoperative period. We present a rare case of a 3-year-old with Williams Beuren syndrome who underwent bilateral ureteral reimplantation for VUR and subsequently developed bilateral ureteral obstruction with acute renal failure requiring nephrostomy tube placement within 48 hours of surgery.
