Abstract

Long-term followup of children with prenatally diagnosed PM with mild to moderate hydronephrosis confirms a high incidence of resolution and improvement. As we have documented 1 case of worsening HUN at 14-year followup, we believe that ultrasonography should be periodically continued until the child reaches adulthood, at least in instances where complete resolution of HUN is not documented.
