title: [Obstructive anuria in children. Apropos of 22 cases].
abstract: The authors report twenty two cases of obstructive anuria observed in children. Causes are diverse: 6 cases were observed during the course of tumors, 4 cases were secondary to bilateral renal stones (or unilateral in a single kidney), 3 cases were observed before surgical correction of latent or well tolerated congenital uropathy, and 9 cases in the immediate postoperative period (including 8 after antireflux surgery). In the emergency situation, treatment of obstructive anuria is based on urinary diversion ideally by percutaneous nephrostomy under ultrasonic control. But prevention is the best treatment of anuria: treatment of urinary tract infections resulting in renal stones, in case of tumor, ultrasonographic survey of chronic upper tract dilatation: rigorous atraumatic operative technique avoiding any oedema.
