Abstract
Urinoma consists of extravasated urine contained by Gerota's fascia. On ultrasound examination, this entity appears as an echo-negative image between the kidney and the renal fascia without continuity with the ureteropelvic junction or the renal parenchyma. We diagnosed a urinoma in a woman at 24 weeks of pregnancy, which was totally resorbed and disappeared at 28 weeks of pregnancy; in the postnatal stage, a dysplastic kidney was found. We reviewed 40 cases and found ipsilateral kidney involvement in 80.6% of cases. Poor prognostic factors for postnatal kidney function were female fetus, diagnosis in the second trimester, ureteropelvic junction stenosis, intrauterine resorption and visualization of a dysplastic kidney.
