A total of 11 male neonates with hydronephrosis and a large bladder in utero had the megacystis-megaureter association. Prenatal ultrasound findings included bilateral hydroureteronephrosis; a large, smooth, thin-walled bladder, and normal volume of amniotic fluid. ⋯ The prenatal diagnosis of the megacystis-megaureter association can be suspected with reasonable accuracy. Prompt postnatal continuous antibiotic prophylaxis and uroradiological confirmation allow for nonemergency management of this condition with excellent results.
