Correction of hemodynamic abnormalities by vesicoamniotic shunting in familial congenital megacystis.
Vesicoamniotic shunting is typically reserved for treatment of fetal obstructive uropathy. We report a case of congenital megacystis without anatomic urinary obstruction in whom a vesicoamniotic shunt was used to improve fetal hemodynamics as measured by Doppler velocimetry.
