Abstract
We report a case of a 31 year old female. Ultrasound examination showed bilateral hyperechoic kidneys with multiple cysts and poor corticomedullary differentiation. The kidneys were increased in size and color Doppler showed normal bilateral renal arteries present. Amniocentesis was performed and the fetal chromosomal analysis highlighted an inversion at the 6p12.2. Further genetic investigations were done. Both parents were karyotiped and showed an inversion at the 6p12.2, typically for the PKHD1 gene location. After genetical councelling the parents decided to terminate the pregnancy. The autopsy confirmed the ultrasound findings.
