Q

is potters sequence associated with oligo or polyhydramnios?

A

oligo

17
Q

what is a common etiology of potters sequence?

A

bilateral renal agenesis

18
Q

describe the features appearing with potters sequence

A

facial abnormalities, limb abnormalities, pulmonary hypoplasia

19
Q

what is posterior urethral valves? does it occur in males or females?

A

membrane that develops blocking the exit of urine from bladder and into urethra
in males

20
Q

what can posterior urethral valves lead to?

A

urine retention…dilated bladder…oligohydramnios

21
Q

how does a horseshoe kidney form?

A

inferior poles of the kidneys fuse in development

22
Q

how does a horseshoe kidney function?

A

normally

23
Q

where would a horseshoe kidney be found?

A

lower than normal kidneys because ascend is blocked by mesenteric artery

24
Q

what is a duplex collecting system? what causes this?

A

two ureters draining one kidney

caused by splitting of ureteric bud

25
Q

what can the duplex collecting system cause in the bladder?

A

a uterocele

26
Q

what is a uterocele?

A

when the ureter bulges into the bladder

27
Q

what is CSFK? what is the cause of it?
