Ultrasonographic anatomy and diagnosis of fetal uropathies affecting the upper urinary tract. I. Obstructive uropathies

Anat Clin. 1985;7(4):301-32. doi: 10.1007/BF01784646.

Abstract

The authors describe the ultrasonographic anatomy and semiology of allowing detection of the main types of fetal uropathies. The results of the author's personal experience in this domain are compared to data from the literature. Differential features of the uropathies are given and the limitations and practical significance of prenatal and postnatal ultrasonography are discussed.
