The total number of cases (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 69) was divided into 4 grades of progressive severity based on the number of pertinent sonographic findings: grade 0, isolated intra\u2010abdominal calcifications (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 18); grade 1, intra\u2010abdominal calcifications and ascites (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 17) or pseudocyst (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 2) or bowel dilatation (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 6); grade 2, two associated findings (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 20); and grade 3, all sonographic features (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 6). Presence of polyhydramnios was also recorded. Prenatal predictors of need for neonatal surgery and risk of neonatal death were identified using Chi\u2010square and Fisher exact test, with <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05 considered significant.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Neonatal surgical intervention was required in 0% (0\/18) of newborns with grade 0 MP; in 52% (13\/25) of those with grade 1; in 80% (16\/20) with grade 2; and in 100% (6\/6) with grade 3 MP (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001, Chi\u2010square for trend). Moreover, neonatal surgery was more frequent in the presence than absence of polyhydramnios [69% (18\/26) vs 37% (16\/43); <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.007]. Neonatal mortality was 6% (4\/69; 3 after surgery and 1 for premature delivery) and it was confined to the subgroup with polyhydramnios (4\/26, 15%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Prenatal sonographic features are related to postnatal outcome. Persistently isolated intra\u2010abdominal calcifications have an excellent outcome. Delivery in a tertiary care center is recommended when calcifications are associated with other sonographic findings.
