title: [The value of scintigraphic functional assessment in extreme hydronephrosis].
abstract: Renographic studies are occasionally suspected of overestimating the excretory function of obstructed kidneys. Presenting the case of a ten months old boy with obstruction of the ureterovesical junction and severe hydronephrosis, we discuss the validity of the assessment of renal function by radionuclide urography. Normal postoperative excretion as well as renographic controls confirmed the good relative function of the hydronephrotic kidney. Instead of nephrectomy a reconstructive operative procedure was employed.
