Early Detection of Urinary Tract Anomaly - Prevention of Kidney Failure in Children (Case Report)

Major complications of a percutaneous kidney biopsy are infrequent but warrant early detection and appropriate treatment. We herein report a patient who developed urinoma following kidney biopsy in the effort to emphasize the paramount importance for practitioners to recognize this complication. Prompt diagnosis and proper management of urinoma following kidney biopsy is prudent as delayed treatment may lead to abscess formation, hydronephrosis, obstructive uropathy and chronic kidney failure.

Prompt Diagnosis

Ovarian torsion represents a true surgical emergency. Prompt diagnosis is essential to ovarian salvage, and high clinical suspicion is important in this regard. Confounding the diagnosis in general are more commonly encountered abdominal complaints in the Emergency Department (ED) such as constipation, diarrhea, and urinary tract infections and more common surgical emergencies such as appendicitis. Prompt diagnosis can be further complicated in low-risk populations such as young children. Herein, we describe the case of a 5-year-old girl with a seemingly benign presentation of abdominal pain who was diagnosed in the ED and treated for acute ovarian torsion after two prior clinic visits. A brief discussion of evaluation, treatment, and management of ovarian torsion follows.
