Tc-99m MAG3 Demonstration of Polycystic Kidneys in Tuberous Sclerosis

A 17-month-old boy with recurrent seizures from tuberous sclerosis developed respiratory compromise due to compression resulting from rapidly enlarging kidneys. To assess the extent of nephrectomy required to assist respiratory excursion, a Tc-99m MAG3 study was performed. This identified the gross...

Zusammenfassung:	A 17-month-old boy with recurrent seizures from tuberous sclerosis developed respiratory compromise due to compression resulting from rapidly enlarging kidneys. To assess the extent of nephrectomy required to assist respiratory excursion, a Tc-99m MAG3 study was performed. This identified the gross degree of polycystic involvement.
