title: Fetal genitourinary anomalies--a pictorial review with postnatal correlation.
abstract: An accurate diagnosis of fetal genitourinary abnormality is essential because some genitourinary abnormalities are associated with pulmonary hypoplasia, which ultimately affects the neonatal outcome. Adrenal masses are rare; however, presence of any lesion located at the superior pole of the kidney should raise the possibility of an adrenal mass. Fetal genital anomalies are rare as well and some of the most difficult to diagnose. A combination and pattern of findings allows for specific diagnosis of renal tract abnormalities. This article reviews the imaging appearance of fetal genitourinary abnormalities with perinatal imaging correlation where available.
