In children, the obstruction of the pelviureteral junction (UPJO) is most commonly caused by intrinsic factors functionally linked to the presence of an aperistaltic junctional segment, site of structural wall alterations here. Less frequently the obstruction may be due to the presence of an external obstacle, which in most cases is identifiable with an abnormal vessel (CV).
