Multicystic kidney dysplasia (MCKD) is the most common clinical expression of Congenital Abnormalities of Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT). Its etiopathogeny is still debated and the obstructive hypothesis is generally accepted. It can be found in isolation or as part of a genetic syndrome.

The aim of this work is to demonstrate the role of obstetrical ultrasound and MRI in the antenatal diagnosis of multicystic kidney dysplasia and the search for other malformations, through two cases diagnosed in the pediatric radiology department.
