This report highlights a deadly presentation of Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) diagnosed in utero and confirmed after 6 weeks post-delivery by ultrasonography. In this case, we present a neonate followed for a period of 6 weeks after delivery without any notable complications. From the literature point of view, this condition is incompatible with life and there are few cases reported in sub-Saharan Africa. There is no definitive treatment for such a case; only watchful waiting and serial renal function tests are used to monitor complications to date. Hence, this case opens a window for other researchers to evaluate this course, especially in resource-limited settings.

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
