Dear listers,
I'm a sonographer in a Maternity in the north of Portugal. I'm
posting a case to wich I would like to ask for your expert opinion:
Single fetus, at 14 weeks presents with ascitis, distended bladder,
oligohydramnios. At the following visit at 16 weeks, no ascitis was
visible and there was some LA, cariotype - 46, XX. Presently she is
20 weeks, has a distended bladder somewhat irregular in shape and with
hypertrophic wall. Renal parenchima seems normal and there is no
hydronephrosis, LA is normal.
What should we look for next? Is there a way to establish the
prognosis in this case?
Thank you in advance for any help,
--
