A Rare Case of Antenatal Bilateral Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney Disease: An Unusual Presentation in a Neonate

This report highlights a deadly presentation of Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) diagnosed in utero and confirmed after 6 weeks post-delivery by ultrasonography. In this case, we present a neonate followed for a period of 6 weeks after delivery without any notable complications. From the literature point of view, this condition is incompatible with life and there are few cases reported in sub-Saharan Africa. There is no definitive treatment for such a case; only watchful waiting and serial renal function tests are used to monitor complications to date. Hence, this case opens a window for other researchers to evaluate this course, especially in resource-limited settings.
