title: Antenatal ultrasound diagnosis of congenital malformations of the urinary tract: results and criticism.
abstract: Fifty-five congenital malformations of the urinary tract (25%) were among 220 antenatally diagnosed malformations. Accuracy of diagnosis was 63.8% (44 cases); 20 infants had to be operated on. Good morphological and functional results could be obtained in 82% of the cases. Prenatal diagnosis of congenital uropathies provides early treatment burdened with less risk.
