Abstract:
During the last decade, with the advent of prenatal ultrasound, multicystic dysplastic kidney is diagnosed with increasing frequency But the management of multicystic dysplastic kidney continues to be an ongoing controversy regarding both its cause and its current management. Herein we reviewed the records of four cases at our hospital between 1983-1993. All were unilateral and three cases were removed surgically and last one was observed and followed up only. The first case was a ten-month-old girl who was referred to our department because of hydronephrosis of kidney. The second was a five-year-old boy with chief complaints of flank pain. The third was a three-month-old girl, and the fourth was a two-day-old girl. Last two cases were referred to our department because of a sustained cystic dilatation of kidney detected by prenatal ultrasonography.
