“…It occurs in up to 4% of neonates and 1% of adults and is often asymptomatic unless it is markedly enlarged, causing obstructive symptoms or infertility 5. Antenatal diagnosis of prostatic utricle is infrequent 6…”

We present a rare case of Klinefelter syndrome who presented with perinatal ascites, unilateral renal agenesis and a prostatic utricle cyst. The patient was born at term via emergency Caesarean section with gross abdominal distension. Antenatally, amniocentesis revealed a fetal karyotype of Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY), and the 34-week ultrasound scan showed a cyst measuring 17×21×27 mm located inferior–posterior to the bladder. There was no ascites noted then, but a small left pelvic kidney was present. Ultrasound kidney, ureter and bladder as well as CT scan of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis done at birth showed a solitary right kidney with large-volume ascites and no evidence of a cyst adjacent to the bladder. These findings suggest urinary ascites from an involuting left renal system or a ruptured prostatic utricle cyst. We report the first case of Klinefelter syndrome associated with a prostatic utricle cyst and unilateral renal agenesis, presenting with neonatal ascites.

“…Like in our case, in urinary ascites, the serum values of urea and creatinine will be lower than peritoneal fluid values suggesting presence of urine in peritoneal cavity. Besides routine diagnostic workup with perito-neal fluid examination, radiological investigations like ultrasound, MCU, MRI and cystoscopy can help to demonstrate exact anatomy of lower urinary tract leading to the cause of urinary ascites [9].…”
