[Localization of hypoplastic kidney by enhanced computed tomography: experiences with five ectopic ureters with hypoplastic kidneys].
Five children with ectopic ureters and hypoplastic kidneys are reported. Hypoplastic kidneys in these cases could not be detected by excretory urography, renal scintigraphy or other routine examinations. Finally, in three cases we could diagnose the localization of hypoplastic kidney by enhanced computed tomography. Enhanced computed tomography is very valuable for diagnosis of localization of hypoplastic kidney.
