title: Fetal hydronephrosis: problems in diagnosis and management.
abstract: Experience with the prenatal diagnosis and management of four cases of congenital renal abnormalities is presented. Neither prenatal intervention nor early delivery was indicated in any of these patients. The current enthusiasm for aggressive management of fetal renal abnormalities may underestimate difficulties in prenatal diagnosis and overestimate the potential benefits of early intervention.
