Bilateral renal agenesis can be detected easily by sonography during the postnatal period. Careful sonographic observation of the flattened ovoid adrenal glands filling the renal fossa, in addition to a complete survey of the abdomen and pelvis to rule out renal ectopia, provides a definitive diagnosis.

Key Words: agenesis • Potter's syndrome • oligohydraminos • adrenal
