| Summary: | The paper deals with an association of connective tissue dysplasia with vesicoureteral reflux and its complications in children. Highgrade vesicoureteral reflux was found to be typical of children with severe connective tissue dysplasia; moreover, its repeated endoscopic correction is required in 27% of cases. The frequency of vesicoureteral reflux complications as hypertension and focal nephrosclerosis did not depend on the degree of connective tissue dysplasia. Urinary tract abnormalities were more specific to children with severe connective tissue dysplasia. The children, mainly girls, with severe connective tissue dysplasia showed a propensity to have recurrent urinary tract infection. |
