Abstract

Abstract This report of four cases shows that fetal vesicocentesis at 10-14 weeks of gestation is a useful treatment option in some cases with megacystis. Although megacystis at this gestation has been reported, there are few studies examining the role of early vesicocentesis. The natural history of the condition and outcome following treatment is reviewed with reference to the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
