    Author: Perdzyński W, Klewar M, Rutka J, Stembrowicz Z, Sakson B.
    Journal: Pol Merkur Lekarski; 2000 Apr; 8(46):246-8. PubMed ID: 10897632.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The authors assess the efficacy of treatment of simple renal cysts with 95.5% ethyl alcohol injected into their lumen. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The diagnosis was confirmed by traditional US and color Doppler, urography, and renal scintigraphy. In four children with simple renal cysts ultrasound-guided puncture, aspiration of fluid and instillation of 95.5% of ethyl alcohol for 15-20 minutes were performed and a needle was withdrawn. RESULTS: In three children 3 weeks after the procedure diameter of cysts began to diminish and by the 5th week cysts were not detected in US. In the fourth child the cyst started to diminish 2 months after the procedure and disappeared after the next 3 months. There was no cyst recurrence after the procedure (average follow-up: 22 months). CONCLUSIONS: In 4 children treatment of simple renal cyst with 95.5% ethyl alcohol has proved safe and effective treatment.
