Urologic Emergencies in Children: Special Considerations

  • Chapter
Emergencies in Urology

Abstract

Pediatric urologic emergencies fortunately remain rare occurrences within the emergency department of a hospital or ambulatory care center. More commonly, congenital anomalies noted at birth, or benign lesions that prompt significant parental anxiety (such as benign scrotal conditions), often result in a visit to the emergency department for evaluation. These urgencies nonetheless require both the appropriate investigations and management in order to allay patient and parental concern. The objective of this chapter is to therefore cover common emergent and urgent pediatric urologic consultations encountered from birth through childhood. Prenatal diagnoses and their respective management options (such as fetal obstructive uropathy) will not be considered, as they are beyond the scope of this chapter and do not necessarily reflect the typical urologic conditions encountered in the emergency department. The chapter will progress via an anatomical top-down approach, emphasizing various conditions from adrenal disorders to scrotal and testicular pathology.
