Genitourinary Tract 2 Abnormal Fetal GU Tract – Part 2 37 38 Megacystis • Causes of megacystis Posterior urethral valves Most common Urethral diaphragmatic membrane Urethral atresia (agenesis) Urethral stricture Persistent cloaca Megacystis‐microcolon‐intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome Most common cause is posterior urethral valves • Obstruction of the prostatic urethra in males posterior urethral valves 39 40 6 cases of megacystis • All associated with prune belly syndrome (discussed later) • Fetuses in left column had normal AFV • Fetuses in right column had oligohydramnios Megacystis caused by urethral atresia 41 Fetal megacystis: Diff Dx, Osborne et al., JUM, June 1, 2011 vol 30 no 6 (833‐841) 42 Bladder Outlet Obstruction Bladder Outlet Obstruction Definition Obstruction (varying degrees) or complete atresia at level of bladder and urethra • Posterior urethral valves (PUV) most common cause in males • Prognosis poor if obstruction complete and oligohydramnios severe 7 ULTR‐3014 OBGYN Sonography 3 Module O.13: Abnormal Fetal Genitourinary Tract 2 Abnormal Fetal GU Tract – Part 2 43 44 Bladder outlet obstruction – sonographic features • Megacystis, ± bladder wall thickening • Bilateral hydroureters • Bilateral renal pyelectasis / hydronephrosis • Oligohydramnios (severe: pulmonary hypoplasia) • Usually male Urethral obstruction (atresia) Radiograph hydronephrosis 45 46 Posterior urethral valves • Coronal fetal abdomen (16 weeks GA) • Grossly dilated fetal bladder • Oligohydramnios 47 Posterior Urethral Valves 48 Posterior Urethral Valves Prostatic urethra Definition Redundant tissue flap obstructing the prostatic (proximal) portion of the male urethra • Wide range of severity 8 ULTR‐3014 OBGYN Sonography 3 Module O.13: Abnormal Fetal Genitourinary Tract 2 Abnormal Fetal GU Tract – Part 2 49 50 Posterior urethral valves Posterior urethral valves – sonographic features 51 • Bilateral renal pyelectasis / hydronephrosis • Bilateral hydroureter • Megacystis with “keyhole sign” • ± Oligohydramnios 52 Are PUV lethal? “Keyhole sign” • Megacystis (BL) and proximal urethra (U) 53 • With PUV, the urethra has a narrow, slit‐like opening that partially impedes urine outflow • The degree of urinary outflow obstruction will determine the severity of the urinary tract problems • Neonatal death may occur for varying reasons Treatment: • Pulmonary hypoplasia vesicoamniotic • Renal failure shunt 54 Prune Belly Syndrome Prune Belly Syndrome AKA Eagle‐Barrett syndrome Definition Underdeveloped abdominal muscles, bilateral cryptorchidism, and an abnormal urinary tract • Abdominal skin wrinkles like a prune • Associated PUV (males) causes severe megacystis, dilated ureters, and hydronephrosis Cryptorchidism Undescended testes 9 ULTR‐3014 OBGYN Sonography 3 Module O.13: Abnormal Fetal Genitourinary Tract 2 Abnormal Fetal GU Tract – Part 2 55 56 Prune belly syndrome CT scan Neonate – prune belly syndrome
