Megaureter visualization on Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy
Copyright policy )Megaureter visualization on Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy
We present a patient with left-sided obstructed megaureter secondary to neuropathic bladder. He was referred for technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid ((99m)Tc-DMSA) renal cortical scintigraphy to evaluate renal cortical function. Images obtained 4 hr after injection showed significant activity in the dilated left ureter. When the ureter is visualized on DMSA scan, obstructive megaureter should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
