Abstract
In childhood, delay in diagnosis of congenital obstructive or refluxing urinary tract pathology can contribute to progressive renal failure. Ultrasound examination is a safe and reliable means of investigating the urinary system pre- and post-natally. Children (13) investigated with ultrasound during the perinatal period are described. In 10, pathology was identified in utero, confirmed after birth and treated surgically within 1 mo. Perinatal ultrasonography is a valuable technique.
