JAYARAJ ARUNACHALAMKARUNANIDHI

Abstract


Ectopic kidney is a rare congenital abnormalitly
and is usually asymptomatic
and found incidentally. Giant hydronephrosis
is also an uncommon lesion
in children and adolescents and is
usually due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
We report a case of 14-yearold
male presenting with abdominal fullness,
suprapubic pain and decreased
urine output with biochemical evidence of
renal impairment. The findings from the
radiologic investigations were suggestive
of an ectopic pelvic kidney with giant hydronephrosis
due to ureteropelvic obstruction
causing contralateral obstruction
to the kidney and ureter - an extremely
rare presentation.
