Q

what is an extra-renal pelvis

A
  • normal renal pelvis is outside of the kidney

- extra renal pelvis is under 1.5cm it may mmimic a small hydronephrosis

57
Q

what is reflux

A
  • urine is retrograding from the bladder up, the ureter into the kidney
  • transient = kidney dilation comes and goes
58
Q

what is a UVJ obstruction usually caused by

A

59
Q

UVJ on ultrasound

A
  • dilated upper pole of the kidney with a dilated tortuous ureter
  • lower pole of the kidney is normal
60
Q

what structure may the ureter may mimic

A
  • bowel
61
Q

how to differentiate between bowel and ureter

A
  • bowel is medial in the abdomen

- ureter would be lateral in the abdomen

62
Q

what is an ectopic ureter associated with

A
  • ureterocele in bladder
63
Q

definition of ureterocele

A
  • cystic dilation of the intravesicular portion of the ureter
64
Q

what is a ureterocele associated with

A
  • dilation of the upper pole of the kidney in duplicated collecting system
