Abstract

In the child, as in the adult, isolated obstruction to the infundibulum of a calix with consequent proximal dilatation is uncommon and needs to be carefully distinguished from multiple caliceal dilatations due to ureteric obstruction and from clubbing of the calix due to pyelonephritis or medullary necrosis. In the adult tuberculosis is also misleading, but this is unlikely to be observed in the child.
