  • Title: Renal pelvis rupture in a kidney with ureteropelvic junction obstruction and extrarenal calyces.
    Author: Ransford G, Young E, Castellan M, Labbie A.
    Journal: J Pediatr Urol; 2013 Jun; 9(3):e127-30. PubMed ID: 23462383.
    Abstract:
    The extrarenal calyx (ERC) is a rare congenital anomaly, associated with various other abnormalities of the urogenital system. We report a unique case of ERC in a solitary functioning kidney with a massively dilated pelvis that developed spontaneous rupture. A dismembered pyeloplasty was performed at the time of rupture. The patient did well post-operatively with a stable creatinine and stable SFU grade 2 hydronephrosis.
