[Newborn infants diagnosed prenatally with uropathies].

UNLABELLED: A clinical study of 111 newborns (NB) with prenatal diagnosis (PD) of urinary tract pathology was performed. The weight and size at birth, physical examination, incidence of uropathies, associated malformations and postnatal diagnostic studies were analyzed. MATERIAL AND METHODS: All data corresponding to 111 neonates with PD of urinary tract pathology were submitted to the Student's t and Chi square tests and contingency tables. RESULTS: Uropathies were more frequent in male NB (69%) and on the left side (2/1). Pyelocaliceal dilatation (PCD) was present in 46% of the patients. The mean weight and size was normal. However, NB with PCD had a mean weight of 249 grams below that observed in the remaining group (p = 0.016). Thirteen newborns (12%) had associated anomalies. An abdominal mass was present in 17 neonates with obstructive uropathies (15%). Serum urea and creatinine were normal in 101 neonates (91%). SUMMARY: 1) PCD is the most frequent uropathy diagnosed prenatally. 2) The incidence of fetal uropathies, diagnosed prenatally, is higher in males. 3) The left side is more frequently involved. 4) The mean weight and size of NB with uropathies is normal. 5) The mean weight of NB with DCP is 249 grams lower than the rest of the group. 6) Serum urea and creatinine were found elevated only in severe bilateral obstructive uropathies.

Female

[Enuresis and urinary pathology].

The incidence of urinary pathology is studied in 71 pediatric cases of primary nocturnal enuresis. These incidences have been 18.3 per cent, but there are two different groups. After a negative urological anamnesis, incidence goes down to 5.4 for 100 (3 patients of 55). When anamnesis shows suspicious of uropathy, incidence growth to 62.5 for 100 (10 patients of 16). Urological study with ultra sound and XR is recommended in nocturnal enuretic children only when there are suspicions of uropathy after a detailed clinical exploration and anamnesis.

Adolescent

[A technic to avoid postoperative intestinal hypodynamia].

The hypodynamic postoperative ileus in children, has as main cause the circle gastric distension-reflex intestinal ileus, produced by the swallowed air. The gastric emptying system-through a Levin tube from the stomach is not usually sufficient to get off all the swallowed air. Nevertheless, a continuous suction from the lower third of oesophagus, through a double lumen sump tube is twelve times more effective in the getting off de air before it comes into the stomach, without need of a nasogastric tube.

Abdomen

[Pyeloureteral stenosis secondary to Schoenlein-Henoch purpura].

We present an 8-year-old male suffering from Schönlein-Henoch purpura with multisystemic clinical manifestations, which developed as a complication a pyeloureteral stenosis secondary to vasculitis. He was operated on and a ureteropyeloanastomosis was carried out according to the Anderson-Hynes technique with good results. We discuss the etiology, diagnostic methods and therapeutic possibilities. It is the eighth case in the literature requiring surgical correction as a result of this exceptional complication.
