Crossed fused renal ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly of renal embryogenesis. The majority of such anomalous kidneys are supplied by a single renal artery and drained by two separate ureters. However, drainage by a single common ureter is an unusual variant. Here, we present a 17-year old male with a pelvic pancake kidney drained by a single ureter with associated acute obstructive uropathy diagnosed with ultrasonography and computed tomography urography (CTU). We describe the anatomical peculiarity and diagnostic evaluation of the case.
交叉融合性肾异位是一种罕见的肾胚胎发育先天性异常。大多数此类异常肾脏由单一肾动脉供血,由两条独立的输尿管引流。然而,由单一共同输尿管引流是一种不寻常的变异。在此,我们报告一名17岁男性,其盆腔饼状肾由单一输尿管引流,并伴有急性梗阻性尿路病,通过超声和计算机断层扫描尿路造影(CTU)诊断。我们描述了该病例的解剖学特点和诊断评估。
