Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of 1 case of vesicoureteral reflux

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a backward flow of urine from the urinary bladder to the kidneys. It is important to detect VUR as early as possible in order to decrease renal damage and associated complication, e.g., by urinary tract infection (1,2). However, usually renal damage has already occurred after the patients are diagnosed (3). We hoped to obtain characteristics of ultrasound sonography of prenatal VUR in order to give clue to diagnosis of potential renal damage. Here we reported a case that prenatal diagnosis showed VUR and was further confirmed by postnatal follow-up ultrasound and micturating cystourethrogram (MCUG)
