Vesicoureteric reflux: the evolution of the understanding of the anatomy and the development of radiology.
Vesicoureteric reflux is now recognized to be a disease which is different in boys and girls and known to be associated with renal parenchymal abnormalities in the fetus. Understanding the anatomy and reviewing the development of the radiologic investigation of vesicoureteric reflux helps put in context conclusions reached from recent clinical and laboratory studies, on which new insights into vesicoureteric reflux have been based.
