title: [Bilateral renal agenesis: a 10-year experience].
abstract: Bilateral renal agenesis (BRA) is an uniformly lethal malformation occurring in 0.1-0.3/1000 births. This condition is associated with severe oligohydramnios, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), extra-renal anomalies, and malpresentation. The aim of this study was to present our experience with 10 cases of BRA seen in a 10-year period. In only one case the prenatal diagnosis was made. Therefore, the clinician was faced with a high-risk pregnancy: 70% of cases presented with malpresentation, oligohydramnios, and severe IUGR. This explain the high rate of cesarean section (40%) and the neonatal intensive care offered to these neonates. The principal methods to improve the prenatal diagnosis of this condition are discussed.
