Abstract:
The natural history of fetal ureteroceles is poorly understood. We report two cases of fetal ureterocele which add to our understanding of its natural history. In both cases, the fetal ureterocele 'resolved' later in gestation. The postnatal findings emphasize the importance of an aggressive newborn evaluation despite apparent resolution of the ureterocele on prenatal ultrasound examination.
