“…Unfortunately, they did not report the newborn blood pressure. Hendry and Hendry [13] also showed severe abnormality of the waveform in seven patients with MCDK. In five, there was a low systolic peak frequency shift and no diastolic flow.…”

We report a case of transitory hypertension associated with unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK). A newborn girl with MCDK, detected by prenatal ultrasonography, was conservatively treated and has been followed for 18 months at the Pediatric Nephrourology Unit (HC-Belo Horizonte, Brazil). Arterial hypertension was observed at about 4 months of age and was associated with high levels of plasma renin activity and circulating angiotensin, and also with changes in renal Doppler ultrasonography. For these reasons, a nephrectomy was initially proposed. However, a spontaneous improvement of blood pressure levels was noticed at about 10 months of age. Serial Doppler ultrasonography showed involution of the affected renal volume and decreased arterial flow. The anatomical improvement was observed simultaneously with normalization of the peripheral renin and angiotensin values. The literature is reviewed regarding the relationship between hypertension and MCDK.

“…The few important entities are the congenital multicystic dysplasia, polycystic kidney disease, and simple or complicated renal cyst. They usually do not pose a sonographic problem [82,83,84,85,86]. Only the neonatal recessive polycystic kidney disease may be confusing, as usually no cysts are seen initially.…”

Paediatric abdominal US differs partially from adult US. Not only different size and different approaches due to different physiological conditions demand a different handling and equipment, but different diseases and different patient handling characterise the specific challenges of paediatric abdominal US. The main goal of this paper is to familiarize the radiologist who occasionally has to deal with paediatric patients with the specifics and typical applications of US in neonates, infants and children. This review tries to point out the major differences between adult and paediatric scanning, starting from technical requirements and other general considerations and spanning to sophisticated adaptation of modern sonographic imaging techniques to specific paediatric queries. This article illustrates typical applications of the various sonographic approaches and lists some major disease conditions where the role of US has changed and shows how US now significantly contributes to diagnosis.
