Abstract

Glomerulocystic kidney disease (GCKD) is a rare form of renal cystic disease characterized by cystic dilation of Bowman’s capsule. The imaging findings of small renal cysts with a predominant cortical and subcapsular distribution allows for distinction from other, more common, polycystic kidney diseases. The appearance and distribution of the renal cysts by magnetic resonance imaging allow for a definitive diagnosis of GCKD.
