Q

What is a common anomaly that causes a kink?

A

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction

- UPJ

17
Q

Who is UPJ more common in?

18
Q

What happens with UPJ obstructions? (3)

A
  1. Stones
  2. Infection
  3. Impaired renal function
19
Q

What are 3 anomalies of bladder development?

A
  1. Bladder agenesis
  2. Bladder duplication
  3. Bladder exstrophy
20
Q

Bladder agenesis

21
Q

How are more infants with bladder agenesis?

22
Q

What gender is more likely to survive bladder agensis?

23
Q

What are the 3 types of bladder duplication?

A
  1. Complete/incomplete peritoneal fold separates 2 bladders
  2. Complete/incomplete septum divides bladder
    - may be multiple septa
  3. Transverse band of muscle divides the bladder into 2 unequal parts
24
Q

Bladder Exstrophy

A

Congenital absence of lower abdominal and anterior bladder wall

25
What increases with bladder exstrophy?
The incidence of bladder carcinoma
26
Aberrant vessels
During embryology, the kidney receives blood from the higher levels of the Aorta
27
When will aberrant renal arteries be present?
If supply from lower levels persist
28
Who is retrocaval ureter more common with?
Males
29
Retrocaval ureter
If the infrarenal IVC does not develop from the usual Supracardinal vein, the ureter will pass posterior to the IVC - may become compressed as the ureter takes an unusual path before entering the bladder
30
How can urachal anomalies present as? (5)
1. Patent - associated with urethral obstruction 2. Cyst - urachus closes at umbilical and bladder ends 3. Sinus - closes at bladder, patent at umbilicus 4. Abscess in the abdominal wall - may form in the abdominal wall arising from the urachus 5. Diverticulum - closes at umbilicus,open at bladder
31
Who is urachal anomalies more common with?
Males
32
Where is urachal anomalies located?
Between the umbilicus and the bladder
33
What increases with urachal anomalies?
Incidence of carcinoma and stone formation
