I have detected a large (36x18mm), hyperechoic kidney in a 24 week fetus.
The appearence of the kidney was similar to infantyl type of policystic
kidney (it was homogenously hyperechoic, there was no tumor (ie.
nephroblastoma, or congenital mesoblastic nephroma) or cystic structures
in the parenchym, and the pelvis renalis visible but not full with
urine).
However, the other kidney was normal in size (31x18mm) and appearence.
Both adrenal glands were normal in size, localization and appearence.
Amniotic fluid volume was normal and the largest diameter of the bladder
was 17mm. Fetus had no additional abnormality.
I looked for if ARPKD (infantyl polycystic disease) could be
unilateral(at least in this stage of the pregnancy), but found no
information.
(I will try to upload the images)
Is there any comment on this?
