Abstract
- We report a case of infantile polycystic kidney disease, during the course of two consecutive pregnancies in the same woman. Observed rates of recurrence in families at risk is higher than theoretical rates (25%). Antenatal ultrasound can show signs of bilateral involvement, which is always lethal and generally leads to elective termination of pregnancy. Diagnosis can rarely be made before 24 weeks of pregnancy.
