Abstract: We present our expertise on a group of 251 patients on the importance and contribution of the diagnostic imaging methods in urinary malformations and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children. Reno-urinar malformations have been found in patients with urinary infection and those are: vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in the proportion of 42%, hydronephrosis in the junction syndrome in 18%, the pyelo-ureteral duplication in proportion of 14.5% and megaureter in 10 %. The most used method of diagnosis and classification for VUR remains mictional cystography. Urography and ultrasound are designed to indicate the presence of malformations and urinary and vesicoureteral reflux shape and nuclear imaging to diagnose renal function and specify renal scarring.
Keywords: vesicoureteral reflux, mictional cystography, urinary infection, ultrasound, nuclear.
