With the widespread application of prenatal ultrasound, the detection rate of fetal congenital malformations increased continuously. Among that, fetal hydronephrosis accounted for 50%. Most of fetal hydronephrosis can recover spontaneously with individual's self-development, but its not yet clear whether it's recoverable or not. At present, diagnosis of fetal hydronephrosis has no uniform standard, and its right mangement also has no great deal of controversy. This review will discuss the recent literatures and perspectives about fetal hydronephrosis.
