Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is severe necrotising inflammation of renal parenchyma. Because of the devastating consequences of the pathology aggressive treatment can prevent permanent renal damage. Fifteen-year-old-girl patient without medical follow-up applied to emergency room with fever and vomiting. Computed Tomography (CT) revealed EPN. After diagnostic procedure minimal invasive procedures like double J catheter and nephrostomy tube insertion failed. While taking into account family’s treatment and medical follow-up compliance, also severe dilatation in both ureters made bilateral ureterocutaneostomy (UC) to be considered as a feasible option. UC creation can be thought as a safe and effective alternative surgical procedure. Pediatric neurogenic bladder (NB) population incompatible to treatment and follow-up are candidates for EPN development. We also believe that UC can be beneficial in terms of acute and long-term management of EPN in NB patients who the clinician thinks will not be compatible with complex surgical intervention, follow-up and treatment.
Amfizematöz piyelonefrit (AP), renal parankimin ileri derece nekrotizan inflamasyonudur. Patolojinin yıkıcı sonuçları nedeniyle agresif tedavi kalıcı böbrek hasarını önleyebilir. On beş yaşında takipsiz kız hasta acil servise ateş ve kusma şikayeti ile başvurdu. Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT) AP şeklinde rapor edildi. Tanı sürecinden sonra bilateral double J kateter veya nefrostomi gibi minimal invaziv girişimler başarısız oldu. Hastanın postür bozukluğu nedeniyle nefrostomi tüpü ile drenaj yapılamadı. Ailenin tedavisi ve tıbbi takip uyumu dikkate alınarak, her iki üreterde de ciddi dilate olması bilateral üreterokütanostominin (ÜK) uygun bir seçenek olarak düşünülmesine neden oldu. ÜK oluşturulması güvenli ve etkili alternatif bir cerrahi prosedür olarak düşünülebilir. Tedavi ve takibe uyumsuz pediatrik nörojen mesane (NB) popülasyonu, AP gelişimi için adaydır. Klinisyenin karmaşık cerrahi müdahale, takip ve tedavi ile uyumlu olmayacağını düşündüğü NB hastalarında ÜK’nin AP’in akut ve uzun süreli yönetimi açısından faydalı olabileceğine inanıyoruz.
