Prenatal Diagnosis And Management Of Ureterocele: A Case Report

Year 2016, Özel Sayı, 42 - 43, 01.06.2016

Abstract

Ureterocele is the cystic dilation of submucosal layer of ureter and its incidence is reported to be around 1 in 500. The condition is more prevalent among female gender and caucasian race. The two types of ureterocele are intravesical and ectopic ureterocele. Herein we present our prenatally diagnosed ureterocele case. The fetus was diagnosed with intravesical ureterocele during 24th gestational week via ultrasound. After an uneventful pregnancy a healthy 2190 g female baby was delivered without complications at 39th gestational week. Postnatally the newborn had several pyelonephritis episodes and the ureterocele was excised via endoscopy. After the treatment pyelonephritis attacks ceased. Prenatal diagnosis of ureterocele is important due to possible complications of the condition. Without prenatal detection, the delay in diagnosis could lead to more severe complications.

Prenatal Üreterosel Tanısı ve Yönetimi: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Üreterosel intravezikal submukozal üreterin kistik dilatasyonudur. İnsidansına bakıldığında 1/500 olarak rapor edilmiştir. Sıklıkla kızlarda ve beyaz ırkta rastlanmaktadır. İntravezikal ve ektopik olmak üzere iki şekilde karşımıza çıkabilir. Postnatal ise üriner sistem enfeksiyonları, renal yetmezlik, sepsis gibi ciddi durumlarla da karşımıza çıkabilir. Olgumuz 24. gebelik haftasında intravezikal üreteroseli saptanmış, kliniğimiz perinatoloji bölümüne refere edilmiştir. Takiplerinde intrauterin gelişme geriliği saptanan, amnion mayi indeksi normal seyreden olgu 39. gebelik haftasında 2190 gr. APGAR 1. dakika 8,5.dakika 9 ile doğurtuldu. Postnatal takiplerinde pyelonefrit atakları geçiren yenidoğan antibiyotik tedavisi sonrası endoskopik olarak üreteroseli eksize edilmiştir. Üreteroselin oluşabilecek komplikasyonlar nedeniyle prenatal tanısı çok önemlidir. Özellikle prenatal tanısı olmayan yenidoğanlarda erken tanı olmaması nedeniyle daha ağır komplikasyonlarla karşılaşılacağını düşünmekteyiz.
