AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2014 Dec;203(6):W684-96. doi: 10.2214/AJR.13.12371.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this article is to illustrate the sonographic findings of a spectrum of neonatal abdominal and pelvic cystic lesions.

Conclusion: Neonatal abdominal and pelvic cystic lesions can arise from many organs, and they have a broad differential diagnosis. Distinctive sonographic findings may be present and can help establish the correct cause and guide proper management.

Keywords: abdomen; cyst; pelvis; postnatal; prenatal; sonography.
