Puncture of unilateral renal cyst in utero

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 1986 Oct;23(1-2):107-10. doi: 10.1016/0028-2243(86)90112-7.

Abstract

Although most authors do not recommend prenatal puncture of a unilateral single cystic renal mass, in case the contralateral kidney is normal and there is sufficient amniotic fluid, this case report shows that the procedure, which can be done very carefully under ultrasonic guidance, can be helpful in establishing the presumed diagnosis.
