Multicystic kidney disease remains the commonest cause of abnormally enlarged kidney, diagnosed on antenatal ultrasound examination. It is typically a unilateral disorder; bilateral condition is incompatible with extra uterine life. Survival is associated with higher risk of Wilm`s tumor and Renal cell carcinoma. Diagnosis is facilitated by ultrasonography. Respiratory compromise on account of mass effect may need repeated percutaneous cyst aspiration. Nephrectomy is the definitive treatment option.
