Abstract
Congenital anomalies of the kidney occupy an important position among
renal diseases because of their frequency and diversity of presentation .They
must be detected early before renal damage is advanced.
Ultrasound has impressed many changes on uroradiology over a quite short
time. This important method whilst not replacing existing tests, adds vital new
informations .
It is proved to be best method for evaluating pediatric urinary tract , since
the examination is short , painless , does not require sedation and does not
expose the child to ionizing radiation. There are no contraindications to its use,
and the test is readily accepted by both the child and parents.
Also , it provides valuable informations in the neonatal period , owing to
the limited ability of the neonatal kidneys to filter and concentrate contrast
material.
This thesis was carried out for screening of apparently healthy neonates for
detection of various congenital anomalies of the kidney among them using
ultrasonography .
In our study two hundred neonates were subjected to screening test using
ultrasonography. We found two cases harboring silent congenital anomalies of
the kidney . One of them was diagnosed as multicystic dysplastic kidney and
the other was diagnosed as dilated renal pelvis.
