A Horseshoe Kidney: A Case Report
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
During abdominal dissection carried out in the Department of Anatomy, Seth G.S.M.C. KEMH Parel, and Mumbai a horseshoe kidney was observed in 40-year-old male cadaver. The kidney was placed at lower position as compared to its normal position. The lower pole fused to form the isthmus against L4 vertebra. Relation of structures in hilum pelvis was anterior to vein and artery on both sides. The right and left renal arteries arose as lateral branches of the aorta just below the level of superior mesenteric artery. One accessory renal artery originated from the ventral aspect of aorta just above the isthmus. Right kidney was drained by 3 renal veins while the left kidney was drained by a 2 renal veins into IVC. Embryological basis and clinical significance of such anomaly is very important in planning and conducting surgeries.
