[Neonatal pneumothorax and urinary tract malformation. 3 cases].
Three newborn male infants are reported who presented with a tension pneumothorax in the first few hours of life. Early in one case and after intervals of one month and eight months in the others attention was drawn to the urinary tract. Radiological investigations revealed morphological abnormalities of the kidneys and the urinary tract itself. The pathogenesis is discussed and an intravenous pyelogram is recommended before the development of clinical features. In this way early diagnosis might allow treatment prior to renal involvement.
