Abstract:
Multi-cystic renal dysplasia (MCRD) is an anomaly of renal development, usually unilateral, characterized by a large cystic kidney and a totally reworked, non-functional parenchyma. It is the most frequent clinical expression of Congenital Abnormalities of Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUTDiagnosis of CKUT is almost always prenatal in developed countries, thanks to ultrasound, but often post-natal in Africa, when a large abdominal mass is detected. Long-term prognosis is generally good, but nephron reduction requires long-term follow-up and the introduction of measures to prevent cardiovascular and nephrotoxic risks. We report a case of multi-cystic renal dysplasia diagnosed on second-trimester morphological ultrasonography with a good post-natal evolution, and review the diagnostic, etiological, prognostic and therapeutic aspects of this pathology.
