What Does External Pelvis Mean?

Hi,
My 13 months old daughter has a small extrarenal pelvis on the right? What exactly is this and how will this effect my daughter currently or in the near future? As a parent, how critical is this life treating? What are the optional treaments if any, only if needed? What should we do...would it malfunction her kidney/uriation infection and etc.?
Thanks,
kiks

Small extra renal pelvis cause some problems , if small renal stone fomed in her it can block her kidney very easily, at this point u don't need operation, but if she complaint s any pain pr urine problems u have to do ultrasound immediately in ur child, this early detection saves her kidney, she had more chance of getting infection, no need of surgery for small extra renal pelvis, but u have to careful in find the complications as soon as they start
