HelloThanks for query. You have been detected to have Upper Conceal Dilatation on Left side. The Cancel dilatation could be due to one of the following reasons .1) Congenital 2) Focal infection of upper calyx.3) Stricture (Narrowing of neck of calyx)4) Stone impacted at the neck of calyx causing obstruction to Chat Doctor. If you do not have severe pain no treatment is required. One can expect it to resolve it spontaneously
