Two patients with Simple Renal Cysts were studied and followed along a three years period. The first case was that of a 3 months old infant with a right abdominal mass, that had been discovered in the first month of life, and severe, persistent arterial hypertension that did not respond to treatment with propanolol, diazoxyde and hydrochlorothiazide: A solitary cyst without communications to the renal excretory apparatus was confirmed at surgery. The second patient had a left hemiabdominal mass that was detected at the 5th month of gestation, during a rutine echographic examination of his mother. In both cases a neprectomy was performed. Arterial hypertension subsided to normal two months after operation in case 1 and both patients were healthy at 42 months of age. (
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
