Perinatal Diagnosed Unilateral Multicyctic Dysplastic kidney INTRODUCTION ü Multicyctic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) : the most frequently diagnosed congenital cyctic kidney malformation in children. ü Incidence : 1/4300 New. Born. ü Arises in the embryo in the stage of development of the grown up kidney(metanaphros). ü The bilateral affection is rare and usually lethal in utero.

Perinatal Diagnosed Unilateral Multicyctic Dysplastic kidney OBJECTIFS üTo study the diagnostic aspects üClarify the epidemiological profile ü Determine the medium and long term evolutionary aspects of unilateral MCDK, as well as those of associated kidney anomalies.
Perinatal Diagnosed Unilateral Multicyctic Dysplastic kidney MATERIALS AND METHODS (1/2) ü Retrospective survey concerning 18 cases of unilateral MCDK collected in the department of pediatrics in the hospital “Tahar Sfar” of Mahdia in Tunisia between 1994 and 2009: *15 cases were diagnosed by prenatal kidney ultrasonography (USG) *3 cases were diagnosed after birth: 2 cases by the discovery of an abdominal mass, 1 case during the exploration of urinary infection. ü Searching for associated malformative uropathy was systematic. ü These patients were followed up at the paediatric consultation, they had renal analysis, and kidney ultrasonography (USG) each 6 months the first 2 years then each year until total disappearance of the mass.
Perinatal Diagnosed Unilateral Multicyctic Dysplastic kidney MATERIALS AND METHODS (2/2) In the diseased kidney: ü Many non-communicating cysts of variable sizes. ü The largest cysts are located at the periphery. ü No renal parenchyma can be identified.

Perinatal Diagnosed Unilateral Multicyctic Dysplastic kidney RESULTS : EXTRA-RENAL MALFORMATIONS ü Ophthalmological abnormalities (1 case): exophthalmia and strabismus. ü Genital malformations (3 cases): phimosis and tight foreskins, testicular ectopia, and bilateral scrotal inguinal hernia. ü Facial dysmorphia (3 cases): retrognathism, cleft lip, nasal collapse. ü Orthopedic malformations (1 case): congenital talipes equinovarus , syndactyly Urinary tract infection was observed in all 6 cases with an associated malformative uropathy: 5 VUR and 1 refluxing megaureter.
Perinatal Diagnosed Unilateral Multicyctic Dysplastic kidney RESULTS: TREATEMENT ü Conservative treatment : 14 cases (77%) ü Nephroctomy: 4 cases (22%) * 1 case at the age of 3 years and 4 months due to an increasing size of the dysplastic kidney. * Associated to an anti reflux procedure in 3 cases, because of high grade VUR. ü Treatment of the associated uropathy: 6 cases (33%)
Perinatal Diagnosed Unilateral Multicyctic Dysplastic kidney RESULTS: EVOLUTION kidney size evolution 53% 33% decrease involution 6% 6% stability increase üUltrasonographic follow up has shown complete spontaneous involution of the affected kidney in 4 cases at an average of 3 year old. ü With an average decline of 7 years: * kidney compensatory hypertrophy : all cases. * No complications were identified: such as hypertension, kidney failure, kidney degeneration. * A boy died at the age of 3 years old due to a septic shock.
Perinatal Diagnosed Unilateral Multicyctic Dysplastic kidney DISCUSSION(1/4) ü The Multicyctic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) : non hereditary cyctic kidney abnormality which is usually unilateral. ü Its predominantly occurs in boys: 58 to 70% of the cases. ü Left kidney : 51 to 70% of the cases. ü Controlateral kidney abnormalities : 7 to 50% of the cases, vesico-ureteral reflux is the most associated uropathy. ü The course of this disease is often benign. The occurrence of hyper tension is rare (5. 4 %). Malignant degeneration is exceptional (the odds of Wilms tumor is estimated at 0. 03 to 0. 1%) ü The prognosis is directly related to the existence of abnormalities in the controlateral kidney.
Perinatal Diagnosed Unilateral Multicyctic Dysplastic kidney DISCUSSION(2/4) The appropriate management of the MCDK remains controversial: Therapeutic abstention: * Can be justified by the low incidence of short term complications and usual spontaneous involution. * In the isolated unilateral MCDK, using antibiotics to prevent urinary infection is useless. It’s indicated if there is high grade vesico-uretral reflux or a mega-ureter. *The follow up of a MCDK is based on: physical examination, kidney ultrasonography in the first years, renal and urinary analysis every 5 years, and elementary nephro-protection measures. Surgery can be indicated : * Symptomatic forms ( compression) * Occurrence of complications ( pain, hypertension, infection) * Diagnostic dubiety * The discovery of a controlateral uropathy threatening the functional kidney. * The increase of the size of the kidney or the absence of regression at the kidney ultrasonography.
Perinatal Diagnosed Unilateral Multicyctic Dysplastic kidney DISCUSSION(4/4) Antenatal diagnosed multicyctic dysplastic kidney Unilateral form Bilateral form (non viable) -searching for associated malformations Presence of associated Absence of associated malformations - Karyotype -therapeutic interruption of pregnancy Discussing a potential therapeutic interruption of pregnancy Depending on : -Karyotype, types of malformations Regular follow up of the pregnancy post-natal exploration
Perinatal Diagnosed Unilateral Multicyctic Dysplastic kidney Unilateral Multicyctic dysplastic kidney (post-natal therapeutic attitude) Patent : Latent -symptomatic forms -Diagnostic dubiety surgery clinical and ultrasonographic follow up - Size decrease -no size decrease - absence of complications -occurrence of complications : hypertension +++ -Therapeutic abstention - Ultrasonographic follow up untill involution - Life clinical and biological follow up: Blood pressure per year/ micoalbuminuria and creatinine each 5 years/ urine culture if urinary infection is suspected Discussing surgery
Perinatal Diagnosed Unilateral Multicyctic Dysplastic kidney CONCLUSION ü Prenatal diagnosis of multicyctic dysplastic (MCDK)+++ Guiding the postnatal management of this disease. kidney ü Conservative treatment is recommended. ü The therapeutic attitude and the long term prognosis depend on the different evolutive modes and associated malformative uropathy. ü It is important then to search for these malformative uropathies and to guaranty a life regular follow up.
