Abstract

To determine if color Doppler ultrasonography is able to identify vascular abnormalities linked to ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction. We used color Doppler scanning in 21 patients to determine whether there were aberrant vessels. The study detected 11 aberrant vessels, resulting in 10 true positives and 9 true negatives. Thus, the overall diagnostic accuracy was 90.4%. Color Doppler ultrasonography is reliable in the preoperative diagnosis of aberrant vessels associated with UPJ obstruction.
