Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
We present the case of a patient aged 33 years, who resorted to in vitro fertilization, as a last resort to get pregnant. Following this procedure, a triplet pregnancy resulted. Ultrasound investigation, using a Voluson E10 ultrasound, 3D and 4D module highlighted: triplet pregnancy 23 weeks old in evolution: A male fetus without visible malformations on the ultrasound, estimated weight of 421 g; B male fetus with right paravertebral abdominal polycystic tumor looking like unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney associated with right megaureter. Estimated fetal weight is 410 g; C male fetus without visible malformations on the ultrasound, estimated weight of 438 g. It is the first case described in the literature of an abdominal polycystic tumor prenatally diagnosed on one of the fetuses of a triplet pregnancy, resulting from in vitro fertilization.
