1) Diagnose and offer a management plan for mild fetal hydronephrosis (pelviectasis). 2) Differentiate between different causes of significant hydronephrosis using ultrasound and MRI. 3) Develop an approach to differential diagnosis for renal cystic dysplasia.
This lecture will discuss the approach to fetal GU anomalies. Mild and significant hydronephrosis differential diagnoses and associations will be stressed. Strategies for imaging with MR and need for follow up imaging or further diagnostic testing will be disussed. Finally, the differential diagnosis of renal cystic dysplasia will be explored as it relates to etiology and associations with genetic disorders.
