Abstract
The excretory pyelograms of 28 patients who had sustained spinal cord injuries during childhood were studied at random. They had not been managed entirely at the author's clinics. The age at injury ranged from birth to 15 years. The period of injury ranged from six weeks to 35 years. Thirty-eight (68 per cent.) of the 56 kidneys were normal. Seventeen (61 per cent.) of the 28 patients had normal kidneys bilaterally. Eleven (39 per cent.) of the 28 patients had pathology in one or both of the kidneys; only two patients had a single kidney which was considered ‘poor’.
