Four cases of neonatal multicystic dysplasia involving the upper part of a complete duplex kidney are presented. This malformation, suspected on antenatal ultrasound examination, was confirmed by postnatal IVP and ultrasound. This emphasizes the need to perform an IVP when the diagnosis of multicystic kidney is suggested by ultrasound. Conservative surgery may then be achieved, as in three of the four cases.

Background: Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) is a rare, benign, placental disorder characterised macroscopically by an enlarged multi-cystic placenta. It is a condition associated with a range of reported clinical outcomes and can be misdiagnosed as a molar or partial molar pregnancy given the similarities in clinical presentation. We present an unusual case of PMD complicated by fetal growth restriction and oligohydramnios in the second trimester.

Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is a congenital renal disease characterized by variable-sized noncommunicative cysts, impeding parenchymal development and functionality. Renal capabilities are relative to the functionality of the contralateral kidney and response to management. Unilateral and isolated cases are often asymptomatic with more positive outcomes, while severe bilateral derangements have a high mortality rate.

Background: Renal dysplasia (RD) is a major cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in childhood. Herein, we present a single-center experience about distinctive features of different subtypes of dysplasia.
Methods: All children with RD admitted between January 2018 and June 2019 were included in this cross-sectional study.

Article Synopsis
- Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction (PUJO) is a leading cause of hydronephrosis in children, and while ultrasonography is useful, it can't determine if an obstruction is present; thus, Ureteric jets through color Doppler ultrasound are being studied for this purpose.
- The study aimed to evaluate Ureteric Jet Frequency (UJF) and Relative Jet Frequency (RJF) in children with unilateral PUJO before and after administering furosemide, assessing their effectiveness for diagnosis and post-operative monitoring.
- Results showed that UJF was significantly lower on the obstructed side, but the difference was not significant when compared to controls; after surgery, both UJF and RJF increased, indicating their potential utility in
