Ureterocele is a common ureteric anomaly detected in pediatric population. Ureterocele diagnosis and evaluation need a variety of radiological methods. We report a case of 5-year-old female child sent for (99m)Tc-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid scan for evaluation of glomerular filtration rate and excretory function of kidneys in view of right-sided hydroureteronephrosis and pyonephrosis with percutaneous tube in situ. Incidental photopenia was noted in the urinary bladder. On ultrasonography of abdomen cause of this photopenia was found to be an intravesical ureterocele.
输尿管囊肿是儿科人群中常见的输尿管异常。输尿管囊肿的诊断和评估需要多种放射学方法。我们报告一例5岁女童,因右侧输尿管积水伴肾盂积脓且有经皮置管,为评估肾小球滤过率和肾脏排泄功能而接受(99m)锝-二乙烯三胺五乙酸扫描。偶然发现膀胱内有放射性稀疏。腹部超声检查发现这种放射性稀疏的原因是膀胱内输尿管囊肿。
