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.
