Abstract
Nonobstructive, nonrefluxing pyelonephritis (or ''simple'' pyelonephri tis) is not commonly associated with progressive renal scarring and gl obal shrinkage. Although children are believed to be particularly susc eptible to renal parenchymal scarring after simple pyelonephritis, pro gressive and global renal shrinkage remains an elusive clinical entity . We present such a case with close radiologic documentation. (C) 1998 , Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
