A Case of Anuria and Urinary Ascites in a Premature Infant due to Bilateral Ureteropelvic Fungal Bezoars / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

A 3-month-old female presented with anuria and abdominal distention for 1 day. The patient was twin and was delivered at 30 week-term with low birth weight. Emergent ultrasonography revealed both hydronephrosis and hyperechogenic mass within the both renal pelves. Urinoma around left kidney was also found. Computed tomography showed high density material filled dilated pelvises. Urinoma measured 3x4cm in the left prerenal space and urinary ascites in the right abdomen were found. Candida albicans was cultured from catheter drained urine. We started the care with percutaneous nephrostomy with amphotericin B irrigation, coupled with systemic antifungal therapy. And this management had a major role in the successful outcome.
