Anomalía de la cloaca
La anomalía de la cloaca es una importante malformación del tracto urinario, genital e intestinal en las mujeres.
Anomalías congénitas del tracto urinario
Las anomalías congénitas del tracto urogenital son un grupo amplio de malformaciones frecuentes, presentes en el nacimiento que ocurren durante el desarrollo fetal del sistema urinario/genital.
Bladder Outlet Obstruction
When a person has difficulty urinating, this is often due to bladder outlet obstruction. With BOO, something is causing a blockage in the bladder and preventing the urine from flowing out of the body. The blockage can be partial or complete.
Cálculos renales
Un cálculo renal es un objeto sólido, duro y similar a una piedra que se forma en los riñones de un niño cuando las sustancias normales en la orina se vuelven muy concentradas.
Duplex Collecting System
In a normal urinary tract, the ureters are two thin tubes in the abdomen, one each connecting a kidney to the bladder. These enable the removal of urine from the body. When a duplex collecting system is present, two ureters (one draining the upper part of a kidney-the other draining the lower half) connect each kidney to the bladder. Often a ballooning of the ureter (ureterocele) occurs in the ureter draining the top half of the kidney, close to the bladder which with its lower bladder position may cause urinary reflux (backflow of urine from the bladder towards the kidney-vesicoureteral reflux-VUR, and hydronephrosis-swelling of the kidney).
Dysfunctional Elimination Syndrome
Dysfunctional elimination syndrome is a condition found in children that refers to problems either urinating or defecating normally. It can involve bladder control, bowel control or both and can range in severity.
Enuresis diurna
La enuresis diurna es un problema que ocurre entre los niños que tienen accidentes urinarios durante el día. Es común entre niños en edad escolar de entre 4 y 12 años.
Epispadias

Extrofia cloacal
La extrofia cloacal es un defecto de nacimiento grave en el que los órganos pélvicos no se forman correctamente. Es un problema muy poco común que se da en uno de cada 300,000 nacidos vivos.
Extrofia vesical y epispadias
La extrofia vesical es un defecto de nacimiento complejo en el cual la vejiga se encuentra por fuera del abdomen. Generalmente, ocurre junto con epispadias, un defecto en la apertura de la uretra.
Gallstones and Gallbladder
The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ attached to the liver that stores bile. Gallstones are abnormal solid deposits made of cholesterol and biliary pigments. They are found inside the gallbladder.
Genitales ambiguos
Cuando los genitales de un lactante recién nacido no son claramente masculinos ni femeninos, se dice que el bebé tiene genitales ambiguos. Los genitales del bebé pueden tener características externas de ambos sexos y/o los órganos sexuales pueden no coincidir con sus órganos sexuales internos o su sexo genético.
Hematuria
Los glóbulos rojos en la orina se conocen como hematuria y son bastante frecuentes en los niños. Puede parecer que la orina tiene un tono rosado, puede ser roja o incluso marrón.
Hidronefrosis
La hidronefrosis es una afección que se caracteriza porque uno o ambos riñones se hinchan debido a un bloqueo/obstrucción del flujo de orina o debido al flujo inverso de orina desde la vejiga.
Hypospadias
Hypospadias is a structural birth defect that results in the opening of the penis not being at its tip; its opening being anywhere on the underside of the penis between the scrotum and the lower underside of the penis.
Incontinencia urinaria
La incontinencia urinaria se refiere a la imposibilidad de controlar la capacidad de orinar. Puede manifestarse como pérdidas ocasionales o como problemas más graves, con pérdidas de orina que requieren intervenciones médicas más importantes.
Infección del tracto urinario
El tracto urinario del cuerpo incluye los riñones, la vejiga, los uréteres y la uretra. Cuando se produce una infección en el sistema urinario, esto se conoce como infección del tracto urinario o UTI.
Meatal Stenosis
The urethra is the tube from the bladder through which urine passes before it exits the body through a hole at the tip of the penis called the meatus. Mental stenosis is a common, abnormal narrowing of the meatus generally occurring in young boys.
Megaureter
The ureter is the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Megaureter literally means large ureter. This problem can lead to infections and potentially severe complications.
Mielomeningocele
Un mielomeningocele es una protuberancia o saco del líquido que rodea la médula espinal.
Posterior Urethral Valves
The urethra is the tube that connects the bladder to the tip of the penis in boys. Posterior urethral valve is a birth defect (congenital) where a baby is born with small, narrow urethral leaflets (valves) that have a very narrow opening (of varying size) which partially blocks the flow of urine leaving the bladder allowing urine in the bladder to “back up” causing damage to the urethra, bladder, ureters and kidneys.
Prune Belly (Eagle-Barrett) Syndrome
Prune belly syndrome is a rare birth defect occurring usually in boys where infants have a triad (three) of abnormalities. These include absence/poor development of abdominal muscles, undescended testicles and a big bladder with problems with their urinary tract which makes it difficult for them to empty their bladders. Infants in addition may have many other birth defects (skeletal, lungs, intestines and heart with girls having abnormalities in their external genitalia).
Síndrome de Turner
El síndrome de Turner es una enfermedad que afecta a niñas y mujeres y que es causada por la falta total o parcial de un cromosoma X. Los síntomas clínicos incluyen estatura baja, pubertad tardía, infertilidad, deficiencias en el aprendizaje y defectos cardíacos.
Torsion of the Appendix Testis
The testicular appendage is a small amount of normal tissue, usually located on the upper part of a testis, left over from the time of testicular fetal development.
Undescended Testicles
Typically by the age of 9 months, an infant boy’s testicles will descend from inside the body into the scrotum. If this does not occur, it is known as undescended testicles.
Uréter ectópico
Los uréteres son los conductos del cuerpo que drenan la orina de los riñones a la vejiga. Cuando un uréter no está conectado a la vejiga y drena la orina a otro lugar, esto se conoce como uréter ectópico.
Ureterocele
Los uréteres conectan los riñones con la vejiga y permiten que la orina pase a través de ellos. La hinchazón que se produce cerca de la parte inferior de un uréter, donde se conecta con la vejiga, se conoce como “ureterocele”.
Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction
The ureters connect the kidneys to the bladder and allow urine to pass through. When a blockage occurs where the kidney attaches to the ureter and prevents the flow of urine from the kidneys, this is known as ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
Urethral Prolapse
The urethra is the tube that allows urine to drain from the body. When the inner lining of the urethra protrudes from the opening, this condition is known as urethral prolapse.
Urethral Stricture
The urethra is the tube that allows urine to drain from the body. When the urethra becomes narrow somewhere along its length for some reason, this can cause complications and is known as urethral stricture.
Urethrorrhagia
Blood in the urine is a symptom that can accompany many different medical conditions. But when a child has clear urine that is followed at the very end by bright red blood or blood in the underwear, this is known as urethrorrhagia.
Vejiga neurógena
La vejiga neurógena significa que la vejiga de un bebé/niño no se vacía apropiadamente debido a problemas con el cerebro, la médula espinal o los nervios que controlan la función de la vejiga, esencialmente paralizándola.
Voiding Dysfunction
If an individual has trouble completely emptying the bladder of urine while urinating, this condition is known as voiding dysfunction.
