The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of computed tomography (CT) renal angiogram (CTRA) in the management of childhood @entity101 . This is a retrospective study of 24 @entity1 with clinical suspicion of @entity455 who underwent CTRA examinations. CTRA demonstrated surgically correctable etiology of @entity101 in 38% of the @entity1 [5 with @entity2791 ( @entity2791 ) and 4 with renal pathology]. In 5 @entity1 , CTRA findings of @entity2791 were confirmed by catheter angiogram. CTRA missed @entity2791 in 1 @entity1 in whom catheter angiogram showed @entity8 . All 6 @entity1 with @entity2791 had resolution of @entity101 immediately after angioplasty or surgery. One @entity1 with @entity2791 had an ipsilateral @entity15740 . In this @entity1 @entity101 resolved spontaneously as the @entity8 shrunk in size. Seven @entity1 had a renal etiology for @entity101 . In 3 of these @entity1 @entity101 resolved after nephrectomy. Malignant @entity101 in the 4th @entity1 with reflux @entity8 was controlled medically after she underwent bilateral ureteral reimplantation. The remaining 3 @entity1 with renal etiology were managed medically. We found that the etiology was central for @entity101 in 4 @entity1 with @entity75 , @entity28 in 1 overweight @entity1 , essential @entity101 in 4 @entity1 , and thoracic @entity1498 in 1 @entity1 . Our study showed that in all except 1 instance CTRA could diagnose a surgically correctable cause for @entity101 . CTRA provided useful information for the management of pediatric @entity101 in all our @entity1 .
