Multicystic dysplastic of the kidney (UCDK) in the most common cause of an abdominal man in the new born period and is the most common cystic malformation of the kidney in infancy. The increasingly widespread use of prenatal diagnostic techniques has revealed that UCDK is apparently even more prevalent than had been assumed. of this study was to assess the utility of antenatal ultra ecography for in utero diagnosid of UCDK and its management. A retrospective study of 11 UCDK cases diagnosed by antenatal ultra echography performed between the 4th and 6th monts of pregnancy. The outcome measure was radiographic imaginy It acts of a retrospective study of the 11 cases of DRMK diagnosed in anténatal by an echography obstétricale of the second quarter. A diagnostic confirmation was obtained by radiological examinations in post native for the pregnancies carried. Patients with UCDK have significant associated urological and/or non urological malformations. In certain cases of non lethal anomalies, antenatal detection may influence both obstetric and postnatal management. Conservative management requires appropriate investigation of urinary tract tract and long-term follow-up.
