Abstract

Objective: To demonstrate two-dimensional (2D) sonographic and HDlive Silhouette features of fetal unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) in the first trimester of pregnancy. Case description: Mild pyelectasis of the left kidney (MCDK) was evident using 2D sonography, whereas two small cysts with pyelectasis were identified using HDlive silhouette at 11 weeks of gestation. Numerous small cysts were noted in MCDK using both techniques at 13 weeks’ gestation. Conclusion: HDlive Silhouette could provide novel information on detecting MCDK in the first trimester of pregnancy.
