Abstract
-
Horseshoe kidney is a nonfatal anomaly of renal development characterized by fusion of one poles of both kidneys. Most clinical problems are caused by hydronephrosis and renal calculi. A case of horseshoe kidney with multiple renal stones and hydronephrosis in a 53 year-old woman is reported and literatures are reviewed. This case was diagnosed easily radiologically and treated successfully by pyelolithotomy & pyeloplasty.
