Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 20
Abstract
The congenital anomalies of kidney are important as they may cause renal failure in middle age group. The horseshoe kidney is the most common congenital fusion anomaly in which both kidneys were fused at their lower poles by an isthmus in front of the inferior vena cava and the abdominal aorta. We present a case report of horseshoe kidney with long hilum opened anteriorly and extrarenal calyces in the left kidney along with an accessory renal artery arising from the aorta, supplied to lower pole of the left kidney and there was a separate renal vein opening into the inferior vena cava. The knowledge of horseshoe kidney with accessory renal vessels and extrarenal calyceal system is helpful for surgeons or urologists during operations.
