[Giant hydronephrosis in a child: case report].
Giant hydronephrosis in children is uncommon. Congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction is the most frequent cause. The CT scan is very important for the diagnosis. We report on a case of hydronephrosis in a 12-year-old child who presented with enormous abdominal distension. The treatment included nephrectomy after waiting nephrostomy. The current literature is also reviewed.
