How Can Poland Syndrome In A Child Be Treated?

Hello. My 4 1/2 year old daughter has Poland Syndrome. She has a twin sister who does not have this condition. She has been wetting her bed at least 2 times/week for months now. I have been watching her fluid intake before bedtime. Also it seems like she frequently has to urinate during the day (more than her sister). She has not had an ultrasound of her kidneys. What tests would you recommend?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Polland's Syndrome may be associated with kidney agenesis, kidney hypoplasia and ureteric abnormalities etc.Or the complaints might have been due to urinary infection.
If your daughter is having urinary complaints ask your doctor for USG abdomen, urine examination etc. to look for above abnormalities.
