Abstract

Background: Evaluate the results of renal cyst sclerotherapy in children, at Children's Hospital 1, and draw experiences in treatment with this method. Materials and method: Report on a series of 15 cases (3 - 14 years old) treated with renal cyst sclerotherapy from July 2020 to March 2024, at the Children's Hospital 1. This method was indicated when the patient got symptoms (n=10) or the cyst had been increasing quickly in size (n=5). The sclerosing agent is 90o medical alcohol (ethanol), injected after suction reduction, according to ultrasound guidance. The follow-up period ranges from 1 to 4 years. Results: 12 successful cases (80%)  (cysts disappeared or decreased in size and no longer had symptoms), 3 unsuccessful cases (20%) (cysts did not decrease in size or added), no significant complications. Conclusion: Aspiration and sclerosing alcohol injection in the treatment of kidney cysts in children is an effective method, less invasive and less complicated. However, we need more data to get more accurate results.
