Abstract
- UItrasound provides the ideal means to examine the fetal developing organs and during the last few years urogenital anomalies in fetus have been discovered with increasing frequency. Obstuctive and non-obstructive urinary tract dilation have been diagnosed in utero as early as l4 weeks gestation and intrauterine intervention designed to relieve hydronephrosis have been performed even at 2l weeks gestation. The major benefit of prenatal ultrasound is to permit early identification of the fetus at risk and to enable treatment to be performed in the neonatal period before infection intervens to worsen the prognosis further. Recentry we have experienced 2 cases of fetal uropathy which was detected with obsterical ultrasonography and treated with neonatal corrective surgery.
