Summary

Multicystic renal dysplasia, a common newborn condition, results from abnormal kidney development. This case highlights a rare bilateral presentation with distinct findings in each kidney.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nephrology
  • Developmental Biology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Multicystic renal dysplasia (MCRD) is the most frequent cystic renal disease in neonates, stemming from aberrant nephrogenesis.
  • Typically presenting as an abdominal mass, MCRD is often unilateral but can manifest focally, segmentally, or bilaterally.
  • Clinical symptoms correlate with the extent of dysplasia and urinary obstruction.

Observation:

  • This report details a unique case of histologically confirmed multicystic renal dysplasia with a suspected bilateral presentation.
  • The left kidney exhibited classic radiological, gross, and histopathological characteristics of MCRD.
  • Conversely, the right kidney demonstrated only radiological indicators suggestive of dysplastic cystic kidney disease.

Findings:

  • The case presents a rare bilateral manifestation of multicystic renal dysplasia.
  • Histopathological confirmation was achieved for the left kidney, while the right kidney showed only radiological evidence.
  • This discrepancy highlights variations in presentation and diagnostic findings within bilateral MCRD.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of bilateral multicystic renal dysplasia presentation.
  • It underscores the importance of integrating radiological, gross, and histopathological data for accurate diagnosis.
  • Further research into the genetic and developmental factors underlying such bilateral presentations is warranted.
