Incidental fetal hydronephrosis: clinical implication
Maternal ultrasonography performed after twenty weeks of gestation is able accurately to identify and diagnose fetal hydronephrosis. We believe this finding should serve to alert the obstetrician as well as the pediatrician to potential complications which may arise at the time of delivery or immediately thereafter. Urologic evaluation and definitive surgical repair may then be performed when indicated.
