Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the proportion maternal hydronephrosis and symptomatic cases requiring treatment in pregnant women without ureteral stones characteristics these cases. Materials methods: Between February 2018 April 2019, all followed for pregnancy obstetrics outpatient policlinic were evaluated prospectively. Maternal rate, degree side, maximum renal anteroposteri...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES With the advent of fetal screening ultrasonography, the detection of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) in utero has permitted early management of these conditions. This study aims to describe the clinical course of a large cohort of patients with prenatally detected nephrouropathies. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS In this ret...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the potential of magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in evaluation of paediatric urinary tract pathologies. PATIENTS AND METHODS.: Twenty-one paediatric urological patients were evaluated with T1, T2 prior and after and 3D gradient echo sequences after the contrast administration. Results were compared with findings obtained with ultrasound which...

OBJECTIVE This prospective study was designed to detect the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in refining the diagnosis of suspected fetal renal anomalies detected during screening sonography. MATERIAL AND METHODS 54 pregnant women, with suspected fetal renal anomalies detected during routine ultrasound screening, were rescanned by MRI to refine the diagnosis of the suspected renal ano...

We report two Japanese patients with Schinzel-Giedion syndrome. When polyhydramnios is observed, additional fetal findings such as overlapping fingers, hydrocephalus, hydronephrosis, and very characteristic facial appearance comprising high, prominent forehead, hypertelorism, and depressed nasal root may suggest Schinzel-Giedion syndrome.

Reflux nephropathy is thought to be the etiology for renal maldevelopment. We present two boys with fetal hydronephrosis and sterile vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). There was lack of renal growth of the refluxing renal units on surveillance renal ultrasound. Parents elected to undergo open ureteral reimplants. Post-surgical ultrasounds demonstrated improved renal growth.

Objectives: To describe the maternal and fetal characteristics of isolated antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH), to address parental concerns by providing local data based on the fetal renal pelvis anteroposterior diameter (APD), and to determine the most effective APD cutoff in the second and third trimester for prediction of postnatal urological outcome. Methods: A retrospective review of all cases...

Purpose. We seek to correlate conventional hydronephrosis (HN) grade and hydronephrosis index (HI). Methods. We examined 1207 hydronephrotic kidneys by ultrasound. HN was classified by Society of Fetal Urology guidelines. HN was then gauged using HI, a reproducible, standardized, and dimensionless measurement of renal area. We then calculated average HI for each HN grade. Results. Comparing HI ...
