Children with a mild fetal pyelectasis do not have more urinary tract morbidity during childhood than children without this finding. Therefore, there seems to be no need for additional investigation after birth.
Objective To investigate the variation in the dimensions of the fetal renal pelvis in relation to the degree of bladder filling in fetuses with mild pyelectasis.
