summary
- Results of the urinary tract screening examinations in boys aged 7-14 years in a randomly selec-
- ted elementary school are presented. 92 o f 258 (35,7%) boys examined by palpation and ultrasono-
- graphically were found to have congenital urinary defects. Eight (3,1%) of these subjects had a
- kidney defect; while the remaining 84 (32,6%) had developmental abnormalities of external sexual
- organs. Routine periodic examinations of children in their school years should be performed very
- thoroughly and should include an examination of external sexual organs. In order to early recognize
- kidney pathologies each child should have an ultrasonographic examination carried out.
