Reduction in renal size associated with complete ureteric duplication.
Ureteric duplication, whether complicated or not, is usually associated with an increased in renal length. Two cases of renal duplex with nonfunction of the upper moeity, exhibiting a reduction in renal size, are presented. The radiologic features and the cause of this reduction in size are discussed. The importance of the postmicturition radiographs in cases of urinary tract infection is stressed.
