Fetal hydronephrosis

Updates to Case Attributes
Presentation
was changed:
Routine second trimester scan.
Body
was changed:
This case shows typical example of prominent fetal hydronephrosis. The dilatation doesn't extend to the ureter and the renal pelvis is ballooned, then pelviureteric junction obstruction is suggested. Postnatal renal ultrasound is recommended for follow up-up, as this degree of dilatation could make surgical intervention more proposed management.
