conclusions the association of horseshoe kidney with a wandering spleen in this case may be due to an embryological anomaly. introduction a wandering spleen occurs when there is a laxity of the ligaments that fix the spleen in its normal anatomical position. case presentation this is a case report of a wandering spleen with horseshoe kidney in a 29-year-old male admitted with acute lower abdomi...

Prom April, 1983 until December, 1987, 15 patients with horseshoe kidneys underwent surgery in Shahid Labbafi Nejad Medical Center. Pyelolithotomy was done in 11 cases, pyeloplasty in 2 cases, and nephrectomy in 2 cases. Symphysiotomy was performed in 14 of these patients. Preoperative angiography was not done in any of the cases and midline transperitoneal approach was utilized in all of ...

conclusions precise evaluation of patients with one renal abnormality could lead to detection of other associated anomalies. application of minimally invasive procedures such as ureteroscopic incision is highly recommended in ureterocele treatment. case presentation a middle-aged male was known to have horseshoe kidney, bilateral ureteroceles and a stone, 1 cm in diameter, in his right ureter. ...

duplication anomalies are quite common with ureteral duplication anomalies being the most frequent. despite the relatively frequent incidence of a horseshoe kidney and duplication anomalies in any individual patient, the combination of horseshoe kidney and bilateral ureteric duplication is a very rare entity and very few cases have been reported to date. we present a case of a patient with nove...

Duplication anomalies are quite common with ureteral duplication anomalies being the most frequent. Despite the relatively frequent incidence of a horseshoe kidney and duplication anomalies in any individual patient, the combination of horseshoe kidney and bilateral ureteric duplication is a very rare entity and very few cases have been reported to date.

The horseshoe kidney is a frequent urological birth defect. The most frequent complications are urinary tract infections, stones and hydronephrosis. The occurrence of glomerular disease in horseshoe kidney is rare. Therefore, we report the first case of minimal change disease occurring in a patient with horseshoe kidney in literature. A 22-year-old Caucasian man without personal or family medic...

Horseshoe kidney is the most common fusion abnormalities in the kidney and occurs in 1 per 400 people with the male:female ratio of 2:1 [1–3]. Horseshoe kidneys may be a result of teratogenic factors, which may also be responsible for the known increase in the incidence of related congenital anomalies and nephroblastoma [4]. Horseshoe kidney is a non-fatal anomaly of renal development that ofte...

Horseshoe kidney is a rare congenital anomaly showing various degrees of fusion and accessory blood supply. Coexistence of horseshoe kidney and aortic aneurysm therefore presents a technical challenge to vascular surgeons. We report an 83-year-old woman with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with horseshoe kidney. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) showed discontinuity of the a...

Sir, Horseshoe kidney is the most common congenital renal fusion anomaly, with an incidence of 1 every 400–1600 births.[1,2] Kidney stones are common in patients with horseshoe kidney with a reported incidence ranging approximately from 20% to 80%.[1,3] Although altered anatomy‐related impaired urinary drainage is a proposed explanation for the kidney stone formation in patients with horseshoe ...
