Morphological assessment on the fetus showed the presence of a large septated cystic mass in the fetal abdomen in the region of the bladder (Figure 1).
Ultrasound scan after the bladder was completely empty, shows the septated cystic mass (white arrow) occupying the region of the newborn's uterus.

The scan revealed a large retrovesical dense cystic mass with a median septum (Figure 2) in the pelvic region, which reached the level of the umbilical scar.
Ultrasound scan in sagittal plane at the level of the kidneys shows bilateral hydronephrosis of dense content (white arrows): (a) in the right kidney; (b) left kidney.

In addition, ultrasound showed bilateral hydronephrosis with dense content, in which the texture was similar to what was observed in the cystic mass (Figure 3).
