Cephalad Renal Ectopia, Duplication of Pelvicalyceal System and Patent Ductus Arteriosus in an Adult Female

Pages 257-259 | Published online: 09 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

An unusual cause for a shadow in the plain CX-ray of a female with uncomplicated patent ductus arteriosus is presented herein. The chest CT scan and IVU revealed the presence of a high (cephalad) right kidney in an eventrated hemidiaphragm. A bifid ureter and duplication of the pelvis were found in the contralateral kidney. This constellation of anomalies is exceedingly rare.
