[Vesicoureteral reflux in a family].
We treated 3 cases of primary familial vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Case 1: A 6-year-old boy had a grade III VUR in the left. Case 2: A 9-year-old boy, who was the elder brother of case 1, had grade III VUR in the right and grade V VUR in the left. Case 3: An 11-year-old girl, who was the elder sister of case 1 and case 2, had bilateral grade V VUR. VUR disappeared after anti-reflux operations in all cases.
