VOIDING CYSTOURETHROGRAPHY IN CHILDREN

Abstract
Sixty-eight voiding cystograms were obtained on 61 patients with a rapid film changer. In 7 examinations, or approximately 10 per cent, the patients could not void.Abnormalities were noted in 36 of the 61 cases, or 59 per cent. Bladder outlet abnormalities were demonstrated in 27 of the 61 cases, or 44 per cent, and vesicoureteral reflux in 19, or 31 per cent.We feel that serial roentgenograms during voiding are necessary because of our 19 reflux cases, 6 refluxed only during voiding and of the 6, 5 refluxed only at the end of the series or in a delayed study. It is also of interest to note that 4 of our 19 cases had prior cystograms under general anesthesia which showed "no reflux."
