SASI KRISHNAN G

Abstract


AIM OF STUDY To detect congenital anomalies of kidneys by computed tomography. MATERIALS AND  METHODS Incidental observation for congenital anomalies of kidneys was made among 500 patients who came for CT  abdomen for other varied indications, for a period of 9 months. RESULTS 8 out of 500 patients showed various anomalies, of which horshoe kidney is the commonest one. Each one case of ectopic, crossed fused ectopic, and renal agenesis was             detected.2 cases of malrotation was noted. CONCLUSION The knowledge of these anomalies is very important for Radiologists and Urologists, which we can easily detect by computed                tomography.
