[Retrospective study on abortions of malformed fetuses carried out during a 5-year period in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône].
The authors report a retrospective study of therapeutic abortions for antenatally diagnosed abnormalities, 146 fetuses are concerned during a five years period, an anatomo-pathological examination have been performed in all cases, malformations of central nervous system are the most frequent (62). 26 urologic abnormalities are especially detailed. There are 10 isolated urologic abnormalities, and 16 abnormalities multiples. All fetuses had renal lesions which could justified an intervention but the declaration at registration of congenital birth defects is not obligatory. A multidisciplinary approach to prenatal diagnosis and congenital birth must still developed for a better understanding.
