CONGENITAL – KIDNEY ABNORMAL ROTATION IVU – abnormal position MEDULLARY SPONGE KIDNEY congenital autosomal recessive defect – cystic dilatation of the renal collecting tubules (usually bilateral, affecting all of the papillae) urinary stasis in the tubules infection and calculi symptoms – from infection and stone formation diagnosis (IVU or CT): pelvis and calyces are normal, but dilated (streaked) tubules (cystic dilatation); plain film – small, round calculi in the pyramidal regions (just beyond the calyces) differential diagnosis: tuberculosis, healed papillary necrosis, nephrocalcinosis terapy of the complications (pyelonephritis, renal calculi)
