Unilateral multicystic renal dysplasia: Prenatal diagnosis on ultrasound.

Vaidehi K Pandya1, Harsh C Sutariya1.   

Abstract

Multicystic renal dysplasia (MCRD) is the most common cause of abnormally enlarged kidney, diagnosed on antenatal ultrasound examination. It is an abnormality of the embryonic development in which the renal parenchyma is substituted by nonfunctioning renal tissue made up of cysts which do not communicate with each other. Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR), pelviureteric junction obstruction, vesicoureteric junction obstruction, and ureterocele are the most commonly seen abnormalities in contralateral kidney. Here, we report a case of prenatal diagnosis of unilateral MCRD with VUR in contralateral kidney. In conclusion, we want to emphasize optimal use of ultrasound imaging to detect such abnormalities as early as possible to guide the proper management.
