Radiological Case of the Month

Radiological Case of the Month Abstract A 7-year-old girl was admitted with symptoms of abdominal pain, frequency, dysuria, and urgency. A urine culture showed a colony count of 100,000 Escherichia coli per high-power field. She had a history of three urinary tract infections within the previous two-year period. Each time, she had pyuria and was treated with sulfisoxazole for two weeks. Follow-up urinalyses had normal results. On physical examination, she was found to be a well-developed, well-nourished, normal-appearing 7-year-old girl. She had a well-healed thoracotomy scar secondary to repair of a coarctation of the aorta at 1 month of age. There was a questionably palpable pelvic mass. Laboratory data from admission studies included a normal urinalysis and no pathogens on urine culture. An initial cystogram, an excretory urogram, and a second cystogram were obtained (Fig 1, 2, and 3).

Abstract

Abstract A 7-year-old girl was admitted with symptoms of abdominal pain, frequency, dysuria, and urgency. A urine culture showed a colony count of 100,000 Escherichia coli per high-power field. She had a history of three urinary tract infections within the previous two-year period. Each time, she had pyuria and was treated with sulfisoxazole for two weeks. Follow-up urinalyses had normal results. On physical examination, she was found to be a well-developed, well-nourished, normal-appearing 7-year-old girl. She had a well-healed thoracotomy scar secondary to repair of a coarctation of the aorta at 1 month of age. There was a questionably palpable pelvic mass. Laboratory data from admission studies included a normal urinalysis and no pathogens on urine culture. An initial cystogram, an excretory urogram, and a second cystogram were obtained (Fig 1, 2, and 3).
