Six cases of unilateral empty renal fossa diagnosed by obstetric sonography are described. The anomalies reported (ectopic kidney, cross-fused ectopic kidney, and unilateral renal agenesis) have not yet been described in the prenatal literature, to our knowledge, in fetuses that are otherwise normal. The study also demonstrates that, in spite of their nonvital in utero role, single kidneys may show compensatory hypertrophy.
本文描述了6例经产科超声诊断的单侧肾窝空虚病例。据我们所知，产前文献中尚未报道过（异位肾、交叉融合异位肾和单侧肾缺如）这些异常情况出现在其他方面正常的胎儿中。该研究还表明，尽管单个肾脏在子宫内并非至关重要，但仍可能出现代偿性肥大。
