A crossing lower polar vessel (CLPV) is found in 11%-20% of children of pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJO). Preoperative imaging (Doppler or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)) may help but does not form a part of routine diagnostic workup. An attempt has been made here to evaluate clinical and imaging features (ultrasound and renal dynamic scan [RDS]) in children of PUJO with CLPV and define variables that could provide a diagnostic clue to its presence.
