ABSTRACT
Background: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is defined as the retrograde flow of urine from the bladder to the ureter and the upper urinary tract. Materials and Method: We report a case of a 1.5yr old female child, presenting to our hospital with recurrent UTI. The patient was subjected to urine microscopy and culture and imaging was done using ultrasound, mcu and dmsa.Ultrasonography of KUB was followed by mcu which showed grade V VUR bilaterally. This was followed by DMSA scanning to assess the level of renal scarring. In this study, we provide the role of the above modalities in diagnosis of VUR. Results: The child was diagnosed with b/l grade 5 vur and was treated with uretral implant. Conclusion: A combination of Renal Ultrasonography, MCU and DMSA provides an excellent approach in the diagnostic assessment of High grade b/l VUR.
