Need to know, what are further prognosis in both cases, can these 2 cases need surgery for correction, or any medication can cure them
No any documents available in both cases
No any documents available in both cases
Brief Answer:
Follow up would be enough if no symptoms seen.
Detailed Answer:
Although a simple ectopic kidney seldom causes symptoms, the association of malrotation of the renal pelvis with calculus increases the risk of hematuria and/or hydronephrosis, presenting with colicky pain as in the present case. The clinician should be aware of these in such a case.
If asymptomatic, no treatment is required. However, the patient should be advised to have follow-up ultrasounds at regular intervals to detect complications like calculus, hydronephrosis, etc. With appropriate testing and treatment, if required, an ectopic kidney should not cause serious long-term health complications.
Even if the child doesn't have any symptom. The child should be followed up with regular ultrasounds for yearly once.
All the best.
