The variables selected for the study were, among others, the following: sex, nutritional status, clinical presentation, type of malformation and imaging technique performed. At the time of the diagnosis female sex and urinary tract infection predominated. The most frequent congenital malformation was the renal ectopia confirmed mainly through ultrasonography, so it is recommended to use this technique over others that could be available at the institution.
