AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Prenatal ultrasonography (USG) plays a crucial role in diagnosing fetal urinary tract anomalies and distinguishing between lower urinary tract obstructive (LUTO) and neurological causes (seen with spinal dysraphism, myelomeningocele, meningocele, and sacral agenesis) of urinary bladder distension. Fetal urinary ascites, a rare but severe complication, can result from bladder rupture associated with obstructive uropathy such as posterior urethral valves (PUV). This case study presents a rare instance of fetal urinary ascites due to PUV detected during prenatal ultrasonography at 20 weeks of gestation (WOG). By highlighting this uncommon but clinically significant condition, we aim to enhance the understanding and management of similar cases in clinical practice.

Objective: We estimated the potential outcomes, costs, and cost-effectiveness of the Vortex shunt, a novel fetal vesicoamniotic shunt (VAS), compared to standard shunts for treating fetal lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO).
Method: We designed a decision-analytic model comparing the Vortex shunt to current shunts using a theoretical cohort of 1000 pregnancies equivalent to the annual U.S.

Background: Antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH) is one of the most common abnormalities detected during prenatal ultrasound. There is significant variability in the postnatal management of ANH. Our objective was to report the outcomes of patients with ANH, spontaneous resolution rates, surgical intervention rates, and factors contributing to these parameters.
