Abstract
Congenital uropathies are the most common fetal anomalies. They include a wide spectrum of anomalies ranging from mild pelvis dilation to complex urinary tract malformations. Prenatal imaging not only allows for their diagnosis but, in experienced hands, it can differentiate obstructive from refluxing or malformative uropathies. Such precise prenatal information allows for intervention before birth in select cases or for adapting the postnatal workup to provide a better long-term outcome. For the different types of congenital uropathies, we describe their prenatal presentations on US and the complementary role of fetal MRI where indicated. We correlate these findings with postnatal workup and summarize the updated neonatal diagnostic and clinical/surgical management.
