Hydronephrosis is one of the most common abnormalities detected on routine
prenatal ultrasounds, being noted in up to 1% of fetuses. Rarely, severe
hydronephrosis coexists with oligohydramnios, which portends a poor prognosis. We
review the most recent literature on the results of prenatal intervention in this
setting. Presently, the first randomized controlled trial to address whether
prenatal vesicoamniotic shunting improves survival and renal function is
underway, and should address the value of prenatal intervention.
