Abstract

Bilateral Multicystic Renal Dysplasia (MCRD) is a rare condition characterized by large cystic kidneys and completely remodeled, non-functional parenchyma. Ultrasound is the gold standard for prenatal diagnosis. The fetal prognosis is poor. Prenatal management relies primarily on ultrasound monitoring of pregnancy progression, the pathology, and the amount of amniotic fluid. We report two cases observed at the Clinique Médicale Amitié in Kati to study the contribution of ultrasound in the management of this condition.
