Renal tubular dysgenesis is a recently recognized autosomal recessive condition characterized by short and poorly developed proximal convoluted tubules, leading to oligohydramnios, Potter sequence, and neonatal respiratory failure. We report an additional 9 cases from one pediatric center, suggesting that this syndrome is not as rare as was previously thought.Normal amniotic fluid volumes in affected pregnancies prior to the 22nd week of gestation have been documented, compromising early prenatal diagnosis. Late second trimester sonographic demonstration of oligohydramnios, with structurally normal kidneys, should suggest this diagnosis and the need for detailed post-mortem pathological examination.
