Renal oligohydramnios and Potter sequence with cystic kidney disease

For the first time in 1946 E.L. Potter (1901–1993) described characteristic appearance of stillborns and deceased newborns with bilateral renal agenesis. Due to further observations distinguished syndrome (Q60.6) – a set external signs that are formed due extreme degree oligohydramnios intrauterine compression fetus. Classical is diagnosed by disfunction both kidneys fetus (for example, agenesis), which leads death. The term «Potter sequence» or sequence diverse causes has received wide clinical use. «renal oligohydramnios» (ROH) used describe resulting from decrease absence fetal kidney function. authors state often develop cystic disease formation cysts parenchyma (autosomal recessive polycystic disease, autosomal dominant glomerulocystic associated HNF1ß/TCF2 gene mutations, renal-coloboma syndrome, hypoplasia, dysplasia mutations C EP55 gene).
