Fibroepithelial bladder polyp and renal tubular dysgenesis: an unusual cause of third‐trimester oligohydramnios.
Year: 2001
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: he fetal genitourinary tract is evaluated sonographically by visualizing the kidneys, identifying fluid within the bladder, and assessing amniotic fluid volume.Most renal abnormalities associated with oligohydramnios are obstructive uropathies or cystic renal anomalies.Rarely does one consider renal failure as a cause of oligohydramnios and nonvisualization of the bladder in the third trimester.We present an unusual case of a fetus who appeared to have no structural abnormalities on sonography in the midtrimester and who had late-onset oligohydramnios as well as slightly enlarged kidneys and an abnormal-appearing bladder.
