Renal pyelic fusion anomaly

Suresh Bhat et al. Indian J Urol. 2015 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

Renal pyelic fusion anomalies are rare and detected incidentally on imaging. Most cases of pyelic fusion anomalies reported are in patients with horseshoe kidney. We report a rare case of pyelic fusion anomaly in normally located kidneys, which has not been reported so far.

Keywords: Kidney abnormalities; renal fusion; renal pelvis abnormalities.
