Abstract
A 9-month-old girl underwent conventional cyclic voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) followed immediately by cyclic contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography (ceVUS). Although the VCUG showed unilateral grade II reflux, the ceVUS showed no reflux. Images from the ceVUS showed posterior dependent layering of the denser iodinated contrast in the bladder. This layering likely prevented reflux of US microbubbles resulting in a false-negative ceVUS. To our knowledge, this potential pitfall has not yet been reported.Entities:
