Indirect signs of infravesical obstruction on voiding cystourethrography improve post-neonatal posterior urethral valves detection rate. To identify the diagnostic performance of clinical and radiological signs (on voiding cystourethrography [VCUG]) to detect posterior urethral valves (PUV) in the post-neonatal period. One hundred eighteen males (median age = 0.8 years, range = 1 month-14 years improve the PUV detection rate. Indirect radiological PUV signs should be valorized when interpreting VCUG to improve the PUV detection rate. The absence of any radiological PUV (direct and indirect) sign on VCUG excludes PUV with a very high negative predictive value. • Worldwide agreement is that a non-dilated urethra on voiding cystourethrography excludes obstruction. • Half of patients

Pediatric voiding cystourethrography: An essential examination for urologists but a terrible experience for children. Voiding cystourethrography is the most important fluoroscopic examination in pediatric urology for the investigation of lower urogenital tract diseases, such as vesicoureteral reflux or urethral stricture. However, this invasive procedure imposes a significant burden on children and their parents, and recently there has been a paradigm shift in the diagnosis and treatment of vesicoureteral reflux. In the 2011 revision, the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines on urinary tract infection recommended abandoning routine voiding cystourethrography after the first febrile urinary tract infection. In 2014, the randomized intervention for children with vesicoureteral reflux study

Necessity of performing voiding cystourethrography for children with unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney. The purpose of this study was to resolve the clinical question as to whether all patients with unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) should receive voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). This is a retrospective study using cross-sectional analysis. Seventy-five children

Comparison of contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography with voiding cystourethrography in pediatric vesicoureteral reflux Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) has been considered as the gold standard technique for the diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). But, it requires fluoroscopic guidance which expose children to radiation. Voiding urosonography (VUS) is technically analogous to VCUG missed by VCUG. ce-VUS is a good imaging modality when compared to voiding cystourethrography to assess pediatric vesicoureteral reflux, in view of its superior diagnostic performance, feasibility and radiation safety for children.

The changes of urethral morphology recognized in voiding cystourethrography after endoscopic transurethral incision for posterior urethral valve in boys with intractable daytime urinary incontinence and nocturnal enuresis. Endoscopic transurethral incision (TUI) of posterior urethral valve (PUV) can improve daytime urinary incontinence (DUI) and nocturnal enuresis (NE). However, the underlying mechanism has not been elucidated. In this study, we retrospectively examined the mobility of the urethra before and after TUI by measuring the urethral angle with voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), to clarify the effects of TUI on the morphology of the urethra during voiding. Between July 2010 and December 2014, 29 boys with intractable DUI and/or NE were diagnosed as PUV and underwent endoscopic TUI

Avoidance of voiding cystourethrography in infants younger than 3 months with Escherichia coli urinary tract infection and normal renal ultrasound. Urinary tract infection (UTI) represents the most common bacterial infection in infants, and its prevalence increases with the presence of high-grade vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). However, voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is invasive, and its

Use of sedative drugs at reducing the side effects of voiding cystourethrography in children Imaging of the kidneys and urinary tract has a significant and critical role for diagnosis of genitourinary system diseases. Although technological progress goes toward less invasive approaches, some of the current methods are still invasive and annoying. Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is the best

Extravasation of the Contrast Material During Voiding Cystourethrography in a Chronic Spinal Cord Injury Patient: A Case Report Neurogenic bladder is common in most spinal cord injury patients. Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is recommended in these patients to detect urinary tract complications. However, rare but serious complications may occur during VCUG, although VCUG is generally safe

Contemporary Practice Patterns of Voiding Cystourethrography Use at a Large Tertiary Care Center in a Single Payer Health Care System. Voiding cystourethrogram involves radiation exposure and is invasive. Several guidelines, including the 2011 AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) guidelines, no longer recommend routine voiding cystourethrogram after the initial urinary tract infection

Establishing a Standard Protocol for the Voiding Cystourethrography. The voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a frequently performed test to diagnose a variety of urologic conditions, such as vesicoureteral reflux. The test results determine whether continued observation or an interventional procedure is indicated. VCUGs are ordered by many specialists and primary care providers, including

Comparison of voiding cystourethrography and urosonography with second-generation contrast agents in simultaneous prospective study The invasiveness and exposure to radiation in voiding cystourethrography led to the introduction of alternative methods of diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux, including contrast enhanced voiding urosonography. While there is a limited number of studies comparing these methods using new generation ultrasound contrast agents, none of them compared both methods simultaneously. This study is aimed at assessing agreement between contrast enhanced voiding urosonography with second-generation ultrasound contrast agents and voiding cystourethrography. From April 2013 to May 2014, 83 children (37 female and 46 male), mean age 3.5 years, age range from 1 month to 17.5 years

Tuberculosis Penis with ‘Watering Can Penis’ Appearance: Report of a Rare Case with Retrograde Urethrography and Voiding Cystourethrography Findings A 'watering can penis' secondary to penile tuberculosis is an extremely rare clinical entity. Retrograde Urethrography - Voiding Cystourethrography evaluation of the urethra and the urinary bladder plays a very important role in the diagnostics

Reliability of grading of vesicoureteral reflux and other findings on voiding cystourethrography Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is the modality of choice to diagnose vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Although grading of VUR is essential for prognosis and clinical decision-making, the inter-observer reliability for grading has been shown to vary substantially. The Randomized Intervention

Oral midazolam for voiding dysfunction in children undergoing voiding cystourethrography: a controlled randomized clinical trial. Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) is the gold standard of detecting and grading the vesicoureteral reflux. Moreover, VCUG is a part of the standard review for infants and children with a urinary tract infection and urinary dysfunction. The purpose of our study

The value of direct radionuclide cystography in the detection of vesicoureteral reflux in children with normal voiding cystourethrography. Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is one of the most important risk factors for urinary tract infection (UTI). Diagnosis and treatment of VUR is important to prevent irreversible complications, such as renal scarring and chronic renal failure. This study was conducted to assess the value of direct radionuclide cystography (DRNC) in the detection of VUR in children with UTI and a normal voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). DRNC was performed in 35 children with a normal VCUG after an episode of febrile UTI who had hydronephrosis or hydroureter, abnormal acute dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan results and/or febrile UTI recurrence. This study was conducted
