A RARE CASE OF CROSSED FUSED RENAL ECTOPIA WITH LATERAL FUSION

KANAGASABAPATHI MARIMUTHU

Abstract


Crossed renal ectopia with fusion is relatively
uncommon. The reported incidence
in literature is about 1 in 2000. We had a
52 year old female presenting with left
lower abdominal pain and no other
urological complaints. Clinical examination
was found to be normal. Ultrasound
abdomen showed empty right renal fossa
and on left side two kidneys were fused
together with gross hydronephrosis with
thinned out cortex of one kidney. Contrast
enhanced computerised tomography
of abdomen and pelvis revealed right
to left crossed kidney with fusion of right
kidney with convex border of malrotated
left kidney. Crossed right kidney had
gross hydronephrosis and thinned out
cortex. Cystoscopy was done and ureteric
orifices were found in normal position.
Scintiscan was done, which revealed
less than 5 percent function of
crossed right kidney. Nephrectomy of ectopic
right kidney was done. Specimen
confirmed to have right pelviureteric junction
obstruction.(PUJO)
