PURPOSE: The aims of the study were to evaluate the ability of Power Doppler (PD) sonography to demonstrate the collateral circulation of the kidney in pediatric patients and to assess the change in this circulation in patients with decreased cortical blood flow.
METHODS: Seventy-seven children were studied by PD sonography to identify capsular and perforating collateral vessels. The study included healthy subjects and patients with acute pyelonephritis (APN) or prenatal pyelectasia. Three age groups were established: neonates, children from 1 month to 2 years old, and a group from 2 to 15 years old.
RESULTS: In all neonates, PD sonography was able to identify perforating vessels and the exorenal arcade. In the group of children age 1 month to 2 years, perforating vessels and the exorenal arcade were also visualized. Patients of this group affected by APN presented an increased caliber of capsular vessels surrounding avascular pyelonephritic areas. In the group ranging from 2 to 15 years old, capsular and perforating vessels were seen in the younger children. There was a decrease in caliber and number of vessels in older children.
CONCLUSIONS: Exorenal circulation can be visualized in the normal pediatric kidney by the use of PD sonography. Caliber and number of vessels are greater during the neonatal period and decrease in older children. Our results also suggest that hypoperfused conditions, such as extensive APN, may cause variations of this vascularity.
