Fetal hydronephrosis
Updates to Study Attributes
A cephalic fetus, left side anterior, normal liquor, and anterior placenta.
The fetal left kidney is seen enlarged with moderate hydronephrosis and stretched parenchyma. The AP diameter of the renal pelvis measures 15 mm. There is a ballooning of the renal pelvis with no visualised dilated left ureter.
Normal size of the fetal right kidney with nominimal pelvicalyceal dilatation (rim like), likely physiological.
Normal urinary bladder.

A cephalic fetus, left side anterior, normal liquor, and anterior placenta.
The fetal left kidney is more enlarged with moderate hydronephrosis and stretched parenchyma. The AP diameter of the renal pelvis currently measures 32 mm. There is a ballooning of the renal pelvis with no visualised dilated left ureter.
Normal size of the fetal right kidney with minimal pelvicalyceal dilatation, likely physiological.
Normal urinary bladder.
Incidental mild left scrotal hydrocele.

Updates to Case Attributes
This case shows a typical example of prominent fetal hydronephrosis. The dilatation doesn't extend to the ureter and the renal pelvis is ballooned, then pelviureteric junction obstruction is suggested. Postnatal renal ultrasound is recommended for follow-up, as this degree of dilatation could make surgical intervention more proposed management.
Pelviureteric junction obstruction remains the main cause of fetal and neonatal hydronephrosis. It is more common in males.
Waiting for postnatal scan.
