Özet

Multicystic dysplastic kidney ( MCDK) is a common developmental anomaly that has an incidence of approximately 1 in 4000 live births [ 1,2]. Caliceal diverticulum is a rare disorder in which a urine-filled cavity is connected to the renal calix by a narrow isthmus. This rare abnormality is usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally on routine intravenous pyelography ( IVP), with an incidence of 4.5 per 1000 IVP [ 3]. This case is presented in order to take attention to the association of two cystic renal diseases, MCDK and caliceal diverticulum in a child and to emphasize a possible common pathogenetic mechanism.
