Urinary tract infection, hydronephrosis, calculi, and tumor of the renal pelvis are knownas complications and multiple congenital anomalies can occur together with a horseshoe kidney (1). However, the occurrence of membranousnephropathy (MN) in a horseshoe kidney has been only reported in a few case reports (2, 3). Furthermore, horseshoe kidney and focal sclerosing glomerulonephritis were seen ...

We report a case of supernumerary kidney associated with horseshoe malformation. A 35-year-old man presented complaining of vague and intermittent left flank pain from few months ago. Ultrasonography of urinary tract showed bilateral hydronephrosis and was suggestive of the horseshoe anomaly. Further evaluation with Intravenous urography showed three renal moieties consisting of a horseshoe kid...

Neuroblastoma is one of the commonest malignancy of childhood. Neuroblatoma in horseshoe kidney is an extremely rare condition. There is only one case of this tumour occurring in horseshoe kidney described in the literature. Recently we successfully treated a boy with neuroblastoma in horseshoe kidney.

The horseshoe kidney is a congenital fusion anomaly where both kidneys are fused at the lower poles. We report a case of horseshoe kidney in a 70 year-old Thai cadaver. This horseshoe kidney was associated with malformations of renal hila, sinuses, calyces and supernumerary arterial supplies from the dorsal part of the kidney. To our knowledge, the arterial supply to the horseshoe kidney from t...

Horseshoe kidney is a congenital anomaly characterized by medial fusion of the bilateral kidneys. Treatment for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with a horseshoe kidney is a technical challenge because of the complex anatomy. We report a successful open surgical repair for a ruptured AAA with a horseshoe kidney. An aortic grafting was performed with division of the renal isthmus through a tra...

Only rarely is renal cell carcinoma encountered in a horseshoe kidney. This is a case report on renal cell carcinoma in a horseshoe kidney, in which superselective renal artery embolization was performed preoperatively. CT and digital subtraction angiography revealed a horseshoe kidney with a 3-cm tumor in the left side. Superselective renal artery embolization of the tumor was performed as a p...

OBJECTIVES Horseshoe kidney is the most common renal congenital fusion anomaly. Kidney stone formation is more common in horseshoe kidneys and some of them requires surgical procedure. So we want to evaluate the results of PNL in patients with horseshoe kidney anomaly. MATERIAL AND METHOD Between January 2009-January 2014 PNL operation was performed in 6 patients with horseshoe kidney anomaly...

Coexistence of horseshoe kidney and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a rare entity that presents a technical challenge to vascular surgeons. How to approach such an AAA with horseshoe kidney and whether to divide the renal isthmus remains a controversial issue. We report here the successful surgical repair of an AAA with horseshoe kidney via the transperitoneal approach with division of the r...

The incidence of horseshoe kidney is about 1 in 400 cases. The presence of Wilms' tumor with a horseshoe kidney is unusual, and the occurrence of Wilms' tumor in a horseshoe kidney is estimated at 0.4 to 0.9% of all Wilms' tumors. We report the case of a 5-year-old boy who presented with a stage IV Wilms' tumor in a horseshoe kidney. The patient was treated with preoperative chemotherapy follow...

Discussion Horseshoe kidney was first recognised during a necropsy by DeCarpi in 1521, but Botallo in 1564 provided the first description and illustration of a horseshoe kidney. Horseshoe kidneys are believed to result from the median fusion of metanephric tissue due to mechanical forces. However studies have suggested that abnormal fusion of tissue associated with the parenchymatous isthmus of...
