Abstract
- Clinical followup was performed in 73 neonates with a prenatal echographic suspicion of uropathy. Of 42 patients with a prenatal suspicion of unilateral hydronephrosis only 15 had pathological obstruction and 2 had multicystic dysplastic kidneys. Among 10 infants with a prenatal suspicion of bilateral hydronephrosis only 1 had true bilateral obstruction and 2 had unilateral obstruction. In 2 patients hydroureteronephrosis seen on prenatal echography was due to massive bilateral vesicoureteral reflux. In this group there was also a multicystic dysplastic kidney and 1 patient with bilateral cystic dysplasia. There was a prenatal suspicion of cystic disease in 8 infants. Postnatally, diagnosis was multicystic dysplastic kidney in 2 patients and a simple renal cyst in 4. The remaining 2 neonates had obstructive uropathy. Finally, of 13 neonates with a prenatal suspicion of anatomical-echo-structural abnormalities a definitive abnormality could be established in only 8. The predictive value of prenatal echography positive for obstructive uropathy was 34.6%.
