“…Only few cases of horseshoe kidney with duplex pelvicalyceal system and ureters has been reported to the best of our knowledge. Sharma PK et al, [1] Christoffersen J et al, [9] Afzal U et al, [10] have observed bilateral duplex collecting system in horseshoe kidney. Ongeti K W et al [2], Keskin S et al, [3] and Singh SK et al, [11] observed bilateral partial ureteral duplication in horse shoe kidney whereas Tyagi V et al, [4] Mirzazadeh M et al, [7] Segura J W et al, [12] and Sumner T E et al, [13] reported complete unilateral duplication in horseshoe kidney.…”

Horseshoe kidney is the most common fusion anomaly of the kidney. Its association with duplex collecting system is a rare entity. Incidence of infections, calculi and nephroblastoma increases in horseshoe kidney. Knowledge of these rare anomalies is imperative for proper diagnosis and treatment. We observed horseshoe kidney with bilateral duplex ureters in a 65-year-old male cadaver. Details of the anomaly, its embryological basis and significance are discussed in the article.

The horseshoe kidney (HSK) is not an uncommon entity with an incidence of about 1 in 400 or 0.25% of the general population. It is also more commonly found in men as compared with women in a ratio of 2:1.An increased association of genitourinary anomalies have been found with HSK.Duplication of ureters occurs in 10% of HSKs. However, the association of HSK with single-system ectopic ureter is extremely rare. To our knowledge, no case with similar presentation has been reported in literature. Most cases of HSK with bilateral single ectopic ureters have been described. The aim of this report is to highlight the radiological and surgical findings in a case of HSK with unilateral single ectopic ureter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
