Abstract
DURAN ALVAREZ, Sandalio; DIAZ ZAYAS, Niurka and CALVIAC MENDOZA, Rosario. Calyceal diverticulum and its incidental diagnosis. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2018, vol.90, n.4 ISSN 1561-3119.
Introduction:
Calyceal diverticulum is detected in 0,21% to 0.60% of excretory urogram.
Objectives:
To describe a patient with an incidental diagnosis of this anomaly and her follow up during 11 years.
Case presentation:
During the performance of an excretory urogram for studying a hydronefrosis in a seven years old girl, a calyceal diverticulum was detected in the contralateral kidney; and after 11 years of ultrasonographic follow-up there has been no modifications or complication related with the diverticulum.
Conclusions:
Calycial diverticulum is a congenital anomaly that can last years without presenting complications. That is why it must be treated conservatively.
Keywords : calycial diverticulum; renal cyst; incidental diagnosis.
