Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, konjenital hidronefroz vakalarında spontan düzelme oranlarını güncel bir bakış açısıyla incelemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Konjenital hidronefroz tanılı 69 hasta (E/K=46/23) çalışmaya dahil edildi.
Bulgular: Doğum sonrası ilk kontrolde bebeklerin ortalama yaşı 10.8 ± 7.6 gün iken çalışma sonunda yaşları 9.5±3.2 ay’dı. Takipte 48 (%69.5) hastanın renal pelvis anteriör-posteriör çapı düzelmişken, 8 (%11.6) hastanınki artmıştı. Ancak bu 8 hastanın MAG-3 görüntülemesi normaldi. Diğer 13 (%18.9) hastada, CAKUT (Böbrek ve üriner sistem konjenital anomalileri) tanılarından olan vezikoüretral reflü (n=8), üreteropelvik bileşke obstrüksyonu (n=5) saptandı. Ortalama başlangıç anteriör-posteriör çap ölçümü, çapı azalmış grupta 9.1±2.8 mm ve artmış grupta 9.7±2.8 mm’di (p=0.461). Son ölçümdeki ortalama anteriör-posteriör çapı ölçümü, çap ölçümü azalmış grupta, artmış gruba göre daha düşüktü (5.1±1.8 mm’ye karşılık 17.9±12.6 mm; p=0.001). Sol tarafta hidronefrozu olan hastaların yirmi altısında (%81.25) ve sağ tarafta hidronefrozu olan hastaların onunda (%71.4) anteriör-posteriör çapı ölçümü spontan olarak azaldı. Bilateral hidronefroz olan hastalarda spontan düzelme, tek taraflı olgulara göre daha düşük orandaydı (n=13; %56.5).
Sonuç: Çalışmamız şunu göstermiştir ki konjenital hidronefroz vakalarında, doğum sonrası yapılan ilk ultrason görüntülemede, hafif düzeydeki hidronefroz varlığı, patolojik seyri dışlamamaktadır. Bu nedenle bu hastalarda ultrason görüntüleme işlemine belli aralıklarla devam edilmelidir.
Objective: The aim of our study is to examine the spontaneous resolution rates of congenital hydronephrosis from a recent perspective.
Material and Methods: Sixty-nine pediatric patients (M/F=46/23) with congenital hydronephrosis were enrolled in this study.
Results: The mean age at the first postnatal examination was 10.8±7.6 days, and the mean age at the time of the final examination was 9.5±3.2 months. Forty-eight patients’ renal anteroposterior diameters (APD) (69.5%) improved while 8 (11.6%) patients’ APDs worsened during the follow-up period. However, MAG3 of these 8 patients was normal. The remaining thirteen (18.9%) patients had congenital anomalies of the kidney and the urinary tract (8 vesicoureteral reflux, 5 cases of ureteropelvic junction obstruction). The mean baseline APD was 9.1±2.8 mm in the group with reduced APD, and 9.7±2.8 mm in the one with increased APD (p=0.461). The mean APD at the final visit was significantly lower in the group with reduced APD than that in the group with increased APD (5.1±1.8 mm vs 17.9±12.6 mm; p=0.001). The anteroposterior diameter of 26 (81.25%) patients with left-sided hydronephrosis and 10 (71.4%) patients with right-sided hydronephrosis regressed spontaneously. The rate of spontaneous resolution was relatively low in patients with bilateral hydronephrosis (n=13; 56.5%) compared to unilateral ones.
Conclusion: Our study indicates that an initially mild hydronephrosis does not exclude a pathological course in cases of congenital hyronephrosis. Therefore, in such patients, routine ultrasonography should be done regularly.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 6 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
