Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 37
Abstract
A case of cross-fused renal ectopia was found during a routine cadaveric dissection at Department of Anatomy, Government T.D. Medical College, Vandanam, Alappuzha. The right kidney crossed the midline and fused with the lower pole of left kidney. Cross-fused renal ectopia seems to be one of the rarest of the fusion anomalies of kidney. Though the symptoms particular to cross-fused ectopia are rare, patients generally present in adulthood with symptoms of various urinary tract infection or calculi, which is believed to be secondary to stasis of urine. The condition is readily detected on conventional urography, CT and US are very useful.
