Abstract

Pararenal pseudocyst is an encapsulated cystic collection of chronically extravasated urine or serous fluid, usually occurring in the perirenal space by renal trauma, operative procedures or obstructive uropathy such as posterior urethral valve, or calculi, tumors of genitourinary tract and often associated with hydronephrosis and displacement of the kidney. We experienced a case of pararenal pseudocyst, right and congenital hydronephrosis, left with posterior urethral valve in a 2 minth old male baby whose chief complaint were abdominal distension and palpable abdominal mass, for 10 days before admission. The diagnosis was confirmed by radiologic evaluations and percutaneous needle aspiration of cystic fluid collection. Suprapubic cystostomy with catheter drainage and loop ureterocutaneostomy, right, were performed.
