Fetal renal cystic disease: sonographic-pathologic correlation.

K W Fong, M R Rahmani, T H Rose

    AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology
    |April 1, 1986

    Summary

    This study highlights how prenatal ultrasound (sonography) can accurately diagnose fetal renal cystic diseases. Sonographic-pathologic correlation is key to understanding and managing these conditions, including infantile and adult polycystic kidney disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Prenatal Diagnosis

    Background:

    • Renal cystic diseases present diverse sonographic features.
    • Accurate prenatal assessment of the fetal genitourinary tract and amniotic fluid is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the utility of sonographic-pathologic correlation in diagnosing fetal renal cystic diseases.
    • To review specific types of renal cystic disease and their sonographic manifestations.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of six fetal sonograms with confirmed diagnoses.
    • Correlation of sonographic findings with pathologic findings.

    Main Results:

    • Sonography, combined with pathologic correlation, enables specific prenatal diagnosis of most renal cystic diseases.

  • The study discusses four types: infantile polycystic kidney disease (type I), multicystic renal dysplasia (type II), adult polycystic kidney disease (type III), and renal cystic dysplasia with obstructive uropathy (type IV).

    • Conclusions:

    • Sonographic-pathologic correlation is invaluable for understanding and diagnosing fetal renal cystic diseases.
    • Effective perinatal management and genetic counseling are essential components of care.
