Her medical history was notable for meconium aspiration syndrome and sepsis at birth that required antibiotics for 7 days, during which time both her umbilical artery and vein were catheterized for monitoring and drug administration. Daily radiography confirmed the arterial catheter tip position constant at the level of the sixth thoracic vertebrae (figure 1). Physical examination on admission demonstrated a right flank abdominal mass with minimal guarding. Ultrasound and CT images were obtained (figures 2 and 3) and the patient was then taken to surgery.</p>Tuesday, 01 Feb 2005 13:47:46 GMT
