Abstract
Routine ultrasound during pregnancy is also performed for the detectio n of fetal malformations. This retrospective study comprises 31 childr en treated for urinary tract infection within 19 months postnatally. T he charts of the young patients were evaluated how often a dilatation of the upper urinary tract (more than 3 cm in diameter) was observed a lready during pregnancy. In 18 patients (58%) the dilatation was detec ted antenatally and was missed in 13 (42%). Reasons of the low sensiti vity may include low technical standard of the sonografic equipment an d limited skill of the investigators.
