Novel technique for diagnosis and management of Fraley's syndrome: helical CT with three-dimensional volume rendering

J Endourol. 2003 Nov;17(9):755-8. doi: 10.1089/089277903770802317.

Abstract

We report on the diagnosis and minimally invasive management of Fraley's syndrome using helical CT with volume-rendering techniques in an 18-year-old patient. Three-dimensional images were generated rapidly and allowed safe planning and execution of a laser infundibulotomy of the upper-pole calix. After 24 months of follow-up, the patient remains pain free.
