[Segmental kidney dysplasia].
The frequency of segmental renal dysplasia was studied in 15 patients with complete pyeloureteral duplication whose anatomopathologic diagnosis of the lesions of some of the renal segments of duplication were available (14 partial nephrectomies, one open renal biopsy). Evidence of dysplasia was found in 10 cases (67%), the remaining 5 were diagnosed as having chronic pyelonephritis. All patients had a coexisting ureteric anomaly that drained the dysplastic renal segment: 6 ureteral ectopias, 3 ectopic ureteroceles, 1 vesicoureteral reflux. The clinical and pathogenic importance of the associated anomalies of the excretory tract, the diagnostic difficulties arising from the minimally- or non-functioning dysplastic renal segment, and the therapeutic modalities utilized are discussed.
