INTRODUCTION Crossed renal ectopia is a rare anomaly and ninety percent of crossed ectopic kidneys are fused to their ipsilateral mate. Based on autopsy findings, the incidence has been estimated to be one in 2000 individuals. CASE PRESENTATION We hereby report on a 53-year-old woman with two episodes of painless gross hematuria. Imaging revealed left side fused crossed renal ectopia and fill...

OBJECTIVE Renal malformations are rare entities and rarely have clinical consequences. Crossed renal ectopia has an incidence of 1/2.000 autopsies. The association with aortic aneurysm is even more exceptional. METHODS We present our case and perform a bibliographic review. RESULTS To date and in our knowledge, seven cases of crossed renal ectopia associated with aortic aneurysm were descri...

Unilateral crossed renal ectopia without fusion is an uncommon anatomic anomaly, which often goes undiagnosed. We report a case of this renal variant discovered incidentally during colostomy reversal after Hartmann's procedure for diverticular stricture.

Crossed Uncrossed Differentials (CUDs) have long been used as surrogate for the interhemispheric transfer time (IHTT). Evidence is presented that macular vision is the province of the major hemisphere, wherein all commands are initiated regardless of the laterality of the effectors of such commands. Using clinical and time-resolved data it is shown also that the above arrangement (i.e. neural h...

Crossed fused renal ectopia is a rare anomaly and may be associated with pelvic ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO). The L-shaped fusion variety is even rarer. We report such a case with a crossed fused ectopic pelvic kidney (L-type) with PUJO and its successful laparoscopic management. Through this report we emphasize the importance of adequate preoperative imaging and intraoperative details ...

Crossed fused renal ectopia is a rare renal anomaly. Formation of staghorn and struvite calculi within it has never been reported in local literature. A 25-year-old man with macrohematuria and right flank pain was admitted to the hospital. An intravenous pyelography revealed right sided crossed fused ectopic kidney showing a staghorn and struvite calculi in upper-moiety along with gross hydrone...
