2024 Friday Quiz 27 Answer

Coronal T2-weighted MRI illustrates an incised left ureterocele (arrow), with its wall now collapsed. The right collecting system is obstructed (dashed arrow) with a dilated collecting system. There is also evidence of chronic renal disease on the left, with a small cystic kidney (arrowhead). Ureteroceles are associated with duplex collecting systems. However, they are more prevalent in individuals with singular renal units. When tied to a duplex system, the ureterocele is associated with the upper pole moiety. In this setting it can cause obstruction of the upper pole.

An image of the kidney after a retrograde pyelogram shows a filling defect (arrow) within the markedly dilated lower pole renal collecting system. The patient was diagnosed as megacalycosis, a nonobstructive dilation of the renal calyces. Megacalycosis typically affects one kidney. While this condition is associated with marked dilation of the calyces, there is often no dilation of the renal pelvis or ureter. Megacalycosis is associated with stone formation.](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/1b877f86-a645-4ba8-890b-025692b904ae)
