Pir Abdul Ahad Aziz Qureshi, Imtiaz Ali Panhwar

Abstract


We present the case of a 16 year old girl, known case of diabetes mellitus and neurogenic bladder who presented in the emergency department with right flank pain and fever and was referred for CT scan with suspicion of renal infection/abscess on the basis of her lab reports. CT scan confirmed the diagnosis of renal abscess with incidental findings of caudal regression syndrome and left sided isomerism.
