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 infection, hydronephrosis and renal calculi. Herein, we report a case of horseshoe kidney with staghorn calculi and hydronephrosis in a 66 year-old-woman. The patient was managed by division of the isthmus and left nephrectomy with a good result.
