Abstract

We report a case of congenital oligomeganephronia unexpectedly imaged with computed tomography (CT). Oligomeganephronia is a form of renal hypoplasia that leads to renal failure in childhood or adolescence. If encountered, its CT features should suggest the diagnosis and prompt renal biopsy.

Keywords:

oligomeganephronia; renal hypoplasia; renal failure; pediatrics; computed tomography
