Abstract: Objectives: Faced with the ultrasound detection of a neuronephrological anomaly, it is imperative to explore potential associated malformations and promptly identify emergent conditions requiring immediate neonatal care at a specialised facility.Methods: This study represents a retrospective and descriptive analysis of a cohort comprising 24 patients diagnosed with fetal urinary tract malformations during pregnancy.These patients were either under the care of or referred to our Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020.Results: The average age of our patients was 30 years, with a range from 18 to 42 years.The mean gestational age was 2.58, and the average parity was 1.08.Notably, ten nulliparous women were included in our series.The average gestational age at the time of assessment was 22 weeks, and consanguinity was identified in ten cases.Predominant urinary tract abnormalities comprised renal pyelectasis (45.8%), hyperechoic kidneys (20.8%), and multicystic renal dysplasia (12.5%).Ultrasound examinations unveiled associated anomalies, notably amniotic fluid anomalies (29.16%), facial
