A rare case of aphallia with right kidney hypoplasia and left kidney dysplasia

Saeid Aslanabadi et al. Arch Iran Med. 2015 Apr.

Abstract

Aphallia or penile agenesis is an extremely rare congenital anomaly with an estimated incidence rate of 1 in 10 to 30 million births. We report a rare case of aphallia with right kidney hypoplasia and left kidney dysplasia in a 10-day old Iranian-Azeri male. The patient had creatinine rise and renal failure due to dysplastic left kidney and hypoplastic right kidney and expired on fifth day of admission. There were only six cases of renal malformation associated with aphallia in the literature review. Three of the cases were complicated by Potter sequence and one of them was accompanied by chronic renal failure. Our case had a unique presentation because of bilateral renal malformation and subsequent renal failure without the Potter sequence.
