[Lethal uropathies: prenatal diagnosis and feto-pathologic aspects].

Abstract

Forty-three prenatal diagnoses of lethal urinary tract abnormalities were carried out during a five-year-period. The abnormalities were bilateral renal agenesis (56%), autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (16%), autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (14%), MECKEL-GRUBER syndrome and Prune-Belly syndrome (4%). The pregnancy was interrupted in thirty-five cases (81.4%).
