    Abstract:
    Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is a common cause of abdominal mass in neonates. It is frequently associated with malformation of the contralateral kidney, such as ureteropelvic obstruction, etc. Because MCDK is usually functionless, it is important to evaluate the condition of the contralateral kidney. The presence of severe obstruction in the contralateral ureteropelvic junction is life-threatening and prompt treatment should be made to preserve the remaining renal function. We report on a neonate with left MCDK and contralateral ureteropelvic obstruction, presenting as anuria after birth, and also we review the literature.
