✦ Synopsis

Postnatal regression of prenatally or neonatally detected multicystic dysplastic kidney disease has been widely documented. However, renal cysts can regress during gestation, although they usually become larger in utero. We present a case of prenatally detected multicystic dysplastic kidney with an atypical course. During the third trimester, unilateral multicystic renal lesions in the fetus first enlarged and later involuted; by the second postpartum year, the kidney had become hypoplastic and nonfunctional. Our case also shows that before birth, blood flow in the affected kidney, measured with Doppler imaging, was normal until the cysts involuted.

LANCEREAUX as early as 1876 divided the large isolated cysts of the kidney into two classes-serous and haemorrhagic. The so-called serous variety is well known, and a large number of articles and case reports have recently appeared in the literature. Rarely, the contents of these cysts are bloodstai

We report on a fetus with tetramelic campomelia, polysplenia, multicystic dysplastic kidneys, and cervical lymphocele. This condition is similar to the autosomal recessive condition described by Cumming et al. [1986: Am J Med Genet 25:783-790] and is different from campomelic syndrome. In addition,
