Abstract
Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in renal perfusion disorders caused by obstructive uropathy. Case description: We present a case of a patient with a horseshoe kidney, in which the urine outflow from the right part of the kidney was blocked due to the presence of a bladder tumour infiltrating the ureter. Perfusion disorders in both parts of the kidney, visible in computed tomography, were partially reflected in the ultrasound image. Conclusions: Doppler ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound may be useful for monitoring perfusion disorders in the course of obstructive uropathy, provided that appropriate methodology is developed to compare blood flow in both kidneys.
