My wife is in her 8th month of pregnancy on her 2 ultrasound it states fetal pelvieocaliectasia noted at the right. There is likewise slight dilatation of the fetal pelveocalyceal structures in the left. I am worried, Please tell me how serious this is.
Hello, Mild fetal pelvi-calyceal dilatation with size of renal pelvis at 1 mm. is associated with excellent prognosis. There is no need of any intervention during pregnancy except regular monitoring. After delivery, prophylactic antibiotic is given to the baby and preliminary investigations like voiding arthrogram, ultrasonogram and clinical examination are done to note the extent of deformity and also to plan further management. Regular 6-monthly follow up is advised until healing is complete. Hope this helps.
