Sonolucent areas in the region of the kidneys were demonstrated by ultrasound in a 23‐week‐old fetus. These sonolucent areas persisted and enlarged during the pregnancy and the infant had the Potter phenotype and Potter type 2A dysplastic kidneys at birth. The use of prenatal sonographic evaluation of the fetal kidneys is discussed.
