Case Report on Neonatal Renal Pelviectasis

Abstract

Renal pelviectasis is characterized by dilatation of the renal pelvis and is commonly identified during antenatal screening or in the neonatal period. Although most cases are benign and resolve spontaneously, renal pelviectasis may sometimes indicate underlying urinary tract abnormalities such as ureteropelvic junction obstruction or vesicoureteral reflux. Early diagnosis, appropriate investigation, and continuous follow-up are essential to prevent long-term renal complications. This case report describes the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and conservative management of a neonate diagnosed with renal pelviectasis.
