I obstructive uropathies

  • Published:
Anatomia Clinica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The authors describe the ultrasonographic anatomy and semiology of allowing detection of the main types of fetal uropathies. The results of the author's personal experience in this domain are compared to data from the literature. Differential features of the uropathies are given and the limitations and practical significance of prenatal and postnatal ultrasonography are discussed.

Résumé

Les auteurs font le point de l'échoanatomie et de la sémiologie ultrasonore permettant d'effectuer le dépistage des principales uropathies par la confrontation des résultats de leur expérience avec ceux de la littérature. Ils précisent les caractères échographiques différentiels des uropathies, les limites de l'utrasonographie et l'intérêt pratique de l'examen ultrasonore à la période anténatale et post-natale.
