“…Prenatal ultrasonography is now increas ingly effective in detecting urogenital malfor mations [1][2][3]. In a significant number of patients, however, technical error, maternal obesity or multiparity may prevent the iden tification of the fetal kidneys [4], Moreover, not all women have an ultrasound examina tion performed during the last trimester of pregnancy.…”

Deep abdominal palpation was performed prospectively in 900 newborns. Normal kidneys were felt in all but 8. 2 of these had a normal ultrasonography, 2 had an obstructive hydronephrosis, 1 had bilateral renal hypoplasia and 3 had a previously undiagnosed unilateral renal agenesis. Despite the increasing use of prenatal ultrasonography, careful abdominal examination should be performed in all newborns.

We evaluated nine patients, age 1 day to 17 years, having infantile polycystic kidney disease (IPKD). Using modern scanners with 5-MHz transducers we have observed two previously unemphasized sonographic (US) findings, a peripheral zone of normally echogenic cortex (five patients), and mild caliectasis (two patients). Our data suggest that IPKD is a more heterogeneous condition clinically and sonographically than generally appreciated and that presence of a thick normally echogenic renal cortex is a good predictor of concurrent normal renal function and prolonged survival.
