Abstract

Mild antenatal renal pelvic dilatation (ARPD) revealed by prenatal ultrasound (US) raises the question whether or not screening for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is mandatory. The aim of our study was to suggest guidelines for postnatal management of infants with mild ARPD defined as an antero-posterior (AP) dilatation >5 and <10 mm.
