Abstract

Bifid (two-compound) renal pelvis constitutes 10% of normal renal pelvis. The Yo-Yo reflux is reflux from one ureter to another in incomplete ureteral duplications. The diagnosis of yo-yo reflux is difficult. Technetium-99m diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Tc-99m DTPA) is used to evaluate renal function. We present two cases of bifid renal pelvis and yo-yo reflux with Tc-99m DTPA dynamic renal scintigraphy.
