Abstract

Congenital renal dysplasia represents a group of nonhereditary kidney malformations frequently encountered in infants and children. The dysplasia may involve one or both kidneys totally or segmentally. The clinical presentation and prognosis depend on the extent of renal involvement and further development of the dysplastic renal tissue as well as the severity of coexisting malformations in other organs. The unifying factor in each instance is the characteristic histologic appearance of the dysplastic renal tissue. Congenital multicystic kidney and multilocular renal cyst are the best known members of the group. Radiologic features in conjunction with the clinical picture can suggest the correct diagnosis in most cases.
