Abstract
The natural history of fetal ureteroceles is poorly understood. We rep ort two cases of fetal ureterocele which add to our understanding of i ts natural history. In both cases, the fetal ureterocele 'resolved' la ter in gestation. The postnatal findings emphasize the importance of a n aggressive newborn evaluation despite apparent resolution of the ure terocele on prenatal ultrasound examination.
