Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This is very typical problem as the son is only one month old.
The meaning of the mild slitting of left pelvicalyceal system is that there is a congenital disorder that the collecting system of the urine has split.
This is possibly have a negative impact on the backpressure to the kidney is there is obstruction into one of the systems , as is observed as the age advances.
If there is no Hydronephrosis at the moment.
Just wait and watch.
Have regular ultrasonography to follow the further progress.
If surgery is required , i can be planned well any time but preferably after the child is 1 year old or 10 kg.
This is surgically correctable, if the complications are anticipated, other wise just wait and watch policy will be better.
But you say he s in pain.
Better to consult a Pediatrician and if necessary Pediatric Surgeon.
