title: Pre- and postnatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of congenital obstructive uropathies.
abstract: Ultrasonography has proved particularly effective in evaluating the neonate with an abdominal mass, poor renal function, and an abnormal perinatal ultrasound scan. As a noninvasive, nonionizing, and relatively inexpensive examination, it can often make the preliminary diagnosis, streamline the work-up, and be used for follow-up studies.
