Case 13

A young woman with haematuria

This 30 year old woman described a history of intermittent haematuria over the previous year. She had undergone surgery for a urinary disorder as an infant, but had been well since. Investigations undertaken for the haematuria a year earlier, including IVP and CT, apparently found no cause, but her symptoms persisted.

A repeat IVP was performed, and a significant change was noted from the previous "normal" examination. A 15 minute film is provided.

Suggest a possible cause of her problems in infancy. What surgery was undertaken at that time? What might be the cause of her haematuria now?
