Presentation
Regardless of the etiology for the presentation, the goal of management is preservation of renal function through mitigation of the risk for recurrent UTI and/or obstruction. [eurekaselect.com]
Case Report A 2-year-old male child presented with a single fixed area of hair loss over the occipital scalp, which was present since birth. It was asymptomatic and nonprogressive in nature. [cdriadvlkn.org]
Usually it is seen at 2–3 years of age but occasionally can be present at birth. Here we present a unique case of triangular alopecia involving the eyebrows in a 23-year-old man. He had bilateral symmetrical involvement since birth. [casereports.bmj.com]
The hair follicular openings were intact, and empty follicles were present [Figure 2] and [Figure 3]. [ijpd.in]
Present On Admission POA Help "Present On Admission" is defined as present at the time the order for inpatient admission occurs — conditions that develop during an outpatient encounter, including emergency department, observation, or outpatient surgery [icd10data.com]

Workup
These CNVs were diagnostic of many well-known human malformation syndromes that were unrecognized based on the clinical workup. [jci.org]
Treatment
Surgical treatments include endoscopic decompression and partial nephrectomy. [patients.uroweb.org]
Treatments Treatments There are no cures for congenital diseases of the kidney. These conditions require lifelong monitoring and treatment. [rileychildrens.org]
Treatment with corticosteroids, either topical or intralesional steroids, is completely ineffective,[1] though Bang et al. reported successful treatment of CTA with 3% topical minoxidil in a 1-year-old girl. [cdriadvlkn.org]

Prognosis
The prenatal diagnosis may improve the prognosis and the outcome of the fetus. An early diagnosis and treatment of urinary obstruction may prevent the renal damage or loss of renal function [5, 21]. [intechopen.com]
The presence of kidney failure from birth or the first weeks of life is a predictor of poor prognosis in regards to renal function, although in some of these children glomerular filtration, corrected for 1.73m2 of body surface area, may improve with the [analesdepediatria.org]
Prognosis With immediate surgery, three-fourths of all people can be successfully repaired. They will have control of their urine and no long-term consequences. [healthofchildren.com]
Prognosis was discussed with the parents of the patient and follicular unit extraction was suggested. Figure 4: Number of hair follicles are in normal range, and epidermis and dermis are normal with the absence of any inflammatory infiltrate. [ijpd.in]
The prognosis is good when the condition is not associated with other systemic abnormalities and is related to a contralateral, usually hypertrophic kidney, as a compensatory effect(1,2). [scielo.br]
Etiology
Regardless of the etiology for the presentation, the goal of management is preservation of renal function through mitigation of the risk for recurrent UTI and/or obstruction. [eurekaselect.com]
Etiology Clinical features Diagnostics Ultrasound imaging of the kidneys and bladder First-line imaging modality Detects anatomical abnormalities Renal ultrasound is warranted for all children with recurrent UTIs or UTI in children < 24 months of age. [amboss.com]
ETIOLOGY The condition has been seen more in males than in females. The proportion of males affected is about twice that of females. A familial tendency is common. Cases are often seen in brothers and in brother [jamanetwork.com]

The exact etiology of this condition remains unknown. Rarely, it may be associated with other disorders such as Down's syndrome and phakomatosis pigmentovascularis. The diagnosis is based on its distinct clinical appearance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of UPJ obstruction seems to be multifactorial and there are several articles supporting different theories that can be summarized as follows: Obliteration-recanalization theory by Ruano-Gil and Tejedo-Mateu [6]: Human embryos between [tandfonline.com]
Prevention
When vesicoureteral reflux is found, treatment may include: Antibiotics to prevent urinary tract infections, which, with urine backflow, might otherwise spread to the kidneys and the bloodstream Surgery to reattach the ureter to the bladder, creating [chop.edu]
Prevention Birth defects often have no precisely identified cause; therefore, prevention is limited to general measures such as early and continuous prenatal care, appropriate nutrition, and a healthy lifestyle. [healthofchildren.com]
Not only might it be possible to have larger effects in the prevention of NTD, FA very probably also has a preventive effect on the prevalence of congenital anomalies other than NTD, such as heart anomalies, limb defects, urinary tract malformations, [zonmw.nl]
In addition, your baby might be started on low-dose antibiotics to prevent urinary infections while more testing is being done. [kidney.org]
