Joseph Thomas, AP Manjunath, Lavanya Rai, Ranjini Kudva

Abstract

The presence of isolated large and hyperechoic fetal kidneys suggest polycystic kidney disease. The antenatal diagnosis has to be made without doubt as it has serious implications in the continuation of pregnancy, evaluation of family members and genetic counseling for the family. We present the features of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) diagnosed antenatally by ultrasound and confirmed by fetal autopsy.
