    Is renal abscess still a problem?
    (MARMARA UNIV, FAC MEDICINE, 2021-01-26) ALPAY, HARİKA; Sak, Mehtap; Gokce, Ibrahim; Cicek, Neslihan; Guven, Sercin; Ergelen, Rabia; Yildiz, Nurdan; Alpay, Harika
    Renal abscess, the accumulation of infected fluid in the kidney, is a rare condition seen in children as well as adults. It leads to long term hospital admission and antibiotic use. Early diagnosis is an important factor in the outcome of renal abscess because the management may differ. Urinalysis test results and radiologic imaging findings of the patients who are admitted to hospital with complaints of fever, vomiting, abdominal pain or flank pain are important for the early diagnosis. Undertreated cases have high risk for renal scar formation. In this paper, we aim to present three pediatric patients, who showed the complication of renal abscess and were treated with long term antibiotic use without a need for surgical drainage.

    (AVES, 2020-06-24) BALTACIOĞLU, FEYYAZ; Sak, Mehtap; Gokce, Ibrahim; Cicek, Neslihan; Yildiz, Nurdan; Baltacioglu, Feyyaz; Alpay, Harika
    We aimed to present five patients presenting with hypertension and diagnosed as renal artery stenosis. Five patients with renal artery stenosis were studied retrospectively. Two of our cases were diagnosed as fibromuscular dysplasia, other cases were diagnosed as Takayasu arteritis and Moyamoya disease, and one of them had congenital vascular abnormality. Renovascular hypertension is one of the most important causes of secondary hypertension in children, and renal artery stenosis constitutes a significant proportion of renovascular disease. We must consider renal artery stenosis in children presenting with resistant hypertension.
