Fetal hydronephrosis

Discussion:

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.
