27
Q

often asymptomatic but may cause hindgut ischemia and frequent UTIs

A

horseshoe kidney

28
Q

why does 50-60% of the population have supernumery renal arteries?

A

duplicated ureters

34
Q

[…] splits between the bladder and kidney

A

bifid ureter

35
Q

three typical sites for kidney stones to lodge

A
  1. junction of renal pelvis in ureter
  2. as ureters cross iliac blood vessel at pelvic brim
  3. junction of ureter with bladder wall
36
Q

where do kidney stone pains refer to in females?

A

caudally into labia majora

37
Q

where des kidney stone pain refer to in males?

A

caudally into scrotum

38

presents as moisture around umbilicus

A

urachal sinus

41
Q

usually seals off and obliterates around months 4-5 leaving the median umbilical ligament

A

urachus

42
Q
  • drains urine from umbilicus from birth
  • periumbilical inflammation/moisture
A

urachal fistula

43
Q

can be asymptomatic but may present with umbilical infections with abdominal pain and periumbilical moisture

A

urachal sinus

44
Q

Q
  • abnormality of formation of the anterior bladder wall and the bony pelvis
  • elevated AFP levels
A

bladder exstrophy

47
Q

causes abnormal development of external genitalia in both boys and girls

A

bladder exstrophy

48
Q

treatment of bladder exstrophy

A

multiple surgeries
* bladder closure
* closure of anterior abdominal wall
* pelvic osteotomy
* epispadias repair
* bladder neck reconstruction

49
