Megacalycosis: Sonographic findings of a rare clinical condition

Recurrent UTI’s represent a challenge for physicians and anatomic abnormalities should be investigated thoroughly in this setting. Not all urinary tract dilatations mean obstruction. Several entities can mimic hydronephrosis without actual interruption of urinary flow. Uniform calyceal dilatation wi...

Summary:Recurrent UTI’s represent a challenge for physicians and anatomic abnormalities should be investigated thoroughly in this setting. Not all urinary tract dilatations mean obstruction. Several entities can mimic hydronephrosis without actual interruption of urinary flow. Uniform calyceal dilatation without dilatation of pelvis and ureter suggests megacalycosis.
