Abstract :Renal pelvic dilatation is the most common form of the fetal anomalies detected with antenatal ultrasonography. Its reported incidence is 1-5 % of all pregnancies insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1,3);. The renal pelvic dilatation may be both unilateral and bilateral. However, the unilateral form is more common insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4,6);. It is 2.5 times more common among female infants than the male infants insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(7,9);. Different classification systems are used for the determination of the renal pelvic dilatation with imaging systems during the fetal period insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10, 11);. The most commonly used parameter for the diagnosis of the renal pelvic dilatation is the measurement of the anteroposterior diameter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(APD); of the renal pelvis on the transverse plane insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12,13);. According to the measurement of the anteroposterior diameter on the transverse plane of the kidney, it is classified usually as mild, moderate and severe insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(14,15);. In this study, our objective was to measure the renal pelvic dilatation in the infants of the pregnant women followed up in our hospital and to compare the results with the results in the literature.
