title: [Multicystic renal dysplasia, peculiar developmental aspects: spontaneous remission followed-up by ultrasonography. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: Two cases of unilateral multicystic kidney followed an atypical course, the non-communicating anechogenic images on ultrasound examination that projected into the renal region disappearing within several months and the infants' condition appearing satisfactory at 2-year follow up review. Analysis of the literature showed the increasing frequency of this outcome, but persistence of a multicystic kidney after the first year of life requires its surgical removal because of risk of degenerative changes.
