Abstract
-
The congenital unilateral agenesis is defined as the complete absence of one kidney due to the fact that the ureteral bud fails to develop or, if it does develop, does not reach the metanephros. It is usually found by accident on urography. We have experienced 2 cases of congenital unilateral renal agenesis accompanied by tuberculous epididymitis, proved by radiologically and surgically and report with brief review of the literatures.
