Crossed Fusion of Renal Pelves and Klippel-Feil Syndrome

A retrospective analysis of 11 children with the diagnosis of Klippel-Feil syndrome treated at the University of Minnesota Hospital over a period of 20 years is presented. The salient features of the syndrome and its associated anomalies are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on its neurological aspects, particularly the potential risks of injury to the craniocervical junction and cervical spine. Guidelines for the management of these patients are suggested.

We present a case of a rare renal anomaly in which the 2 kidneys (separate or fused across the midline) are drained by a common renal pelvis and ureter. Previously reported cases have been reviewed and are classified in 3 groups according to their anatomical features. The lesion is associated with some frequency with imperforate anus, sacral and other vertebral defects, neurogenic bladder, vesicoureteral reflux, upper tract dilatation, and urinary tract infections.
