Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of fetal urogenital anomalies

Abstract

Congenital urogenital anomalies constitute approximately 20 to 30% of all malformations identified in the antenatal period. Since fetal urogenital malformations are a significant cause of neonatal and child morbidity and mortality, the necessity of providing the correct diagnosis for the parents and professionals involved in the management should be of great priority. Here, we present a review of the most common fetal urogenital malformations with special consideration of ultrasound features and addition of our ultrasound assessments.
