Abstract
A case of neonatal ascites associated with severe, obstructive uropathy is described. Recovery followed correction of the urinary tract obstruction. Follow-up data, including those pertaining to growth and development, over a 4-year period are presented. Attempts to demonstrate leakage of urine or a direct communication between the urinary tract and the peritoneal cavity were made, but failed. The pathogenesis of congenital ascites in infants with bilateral hydronephrosis and hydro-ureters remains obscure.Keywords
