Abstract
- One of the rarest anomalies of the urinary tract is crossed renal ectopia. In Crossed Renal Ectopia, the kidney may be fused or unfused. The fused type is more common. The Diagnosis is made by a combination of urologic and radiologic technics including intravenous pyelography, Cytoscopic examination, retrograde pyelography and retroperitoneal air insufflation. The treatment of renal ectopia without fusion is that of the complicating disease in a kindney normally placed. This paper presented one care of crossed renal ectopia with fusion in a 5 month old female patient who admitted with high fever, oliguria and a palpable abdominal mass. The literatures were reviewed briefly.
