Fig. 1 Images of the kidneys. (A) Intravenous urography shows four renal shadows (arrows) with four separate collecting systems. (B) Coronal T2-weighted magnetic resonance image shows bilateral supernumerary kidneys (arrows). The lower-positioned kidneys are smaller than the upper-positioned kidneys. (C) Sagittal T2-weighted magnetic resonance images of right and left kidneys show the entire distinct capsule (arrow) of the separate kidney to confirm the diagnosis.
