Dysplastic renal appearances in a foetus at 21 weeks gestation, seen as a result of bladder outflow obstruction. Post-mortem imaging was performed 4 days after termination of pregnancy. On the sagittal post-mortem ultrasound images of the right (a) and left (b) kidneys, there is loss of the normal corticomedullary differentiation with hyperechoic renal cortices and mild pelvicalyceal dilatation. The corresponding post-mortem T2 weighted MRI study in coronal plane (c) confirms the same findings as ultrasound, and also reveals bilateral dilated and tortuous ureters (solid arrows) leading to a partially collapsed urinary bladder (dotted arrow)
