Abstract

Perinephric abscess is an accumulation of pus in the perinephric space, an area anatomically defined between kidney and Gerota’s fascia. The abscess is usually confined to an the anatomic boundaries of Gerota*s fascia but may extend in several directions. Rarely perinephrobronchial fistula may occur. We have experienced a case of right perinephic abscess with perinephrobronchial fistula in 2-year-old boy who had renal dysplasia and ureterocele on the same side. Review of literatures was made briefly.
