ABSTRACT
Bilateral renal agenesis is an uncommon prenatal diagnosis. It is a lethal anomaly with 50% of the fetuses being stillborn; the rest would die shortly after birth. It is also associated with many other congenital anomalies many of which have autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance. Absence of kidneys in renal fossae with pulmonary hypoplasia and oligohydramnios or anhydramnios strongly suggests the diagnosis of bilateral renal agenesis.
