MULTIDETECTOR COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY UROGRAPHY IN PANCAKE KIDNEY: A RARE CASE

Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 13

Abstract

Pancake kidney is a rare congenital anomaly of the genitourinary system, with fewer than 30 cases described in the literature. Cake kidney or fused pelvic kidney is an anomaly in which the entire renal substance is fused into one mass, lying in the pelvis, and giving rise to two separate ureters which enter the bladder in normal relationship. We present a case of pancake kidney who was diagnosed incidentally during a routine infertility work up. Our case did not have any associated genital anomalies.
