Horseshoe kidney with unilateral single ectopic ureter

Abstract

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.

Single ectopic ureter opening into a vaginal cyst associated with multiple urogenital tract malformation: A rare case report

“…The ectopic ureter may enter anywhere from the bladder neck to the perineum, such as vagina, uterus or rectum 1 . In many patients with a single‐system ectopic ureter, it may be accompanied with diminutive, nonfunctional, or absent ipsilateral kidneys, 2 whereas combination with multiple genital tract malformation is extremely rare. Here, we present a unique case report of single ectopic ureter opening into a vaginal cyst associated with multiple congenital abnormalities, including ipsilateral renal agenesis, infantile uterus, and imperforate hymen in a prepubertal girl.…”

An Interesting Case Of A Horseshoe Kidney With Unilateral Single Ureter And Associated Anorectal Malformation

“…Horseshoe kidney (HSK) has an incidence of about 1 in 400 or 0.25% of the general population and is seen more commonly in males as compared with women in a ratio of 2:1. 1 It is associated with genitourinary anomalies with duplication of ureters seen in 10% of HSKs. 1 The association of HSK with single-system ectopic ureter is an in literature.…”
