Massive unilateral non-functioning hydronephrosis in horseshoe kidney.

L Love, D Wasserman

    Clinical Radiology
    |July 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Unrecognized non-function in horseshoe kidney segments due to hydronephrosis poses surgical risks. Key diagnostic signs include malrotation, axis deviation, and mass effect on the obstructed side.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Horseshoe kidney malformations can lead to complications like hydronephrosis.
    • Hydronephrosis, if severe and undetected, may cause segmental renal non-function.

    Observation:

    • Anatomical variations such as anterior ureter position and accessory vessels increase hydronephrosis risk.
    • Diagnostic imaging reveals characteristic calyceal malrotation and renal axis deviation on the visualized side.
    • A mass effect on the obstructed side, potentially with a 'crescent' sign, is observed.

    Findings:

    • Five cases of segmental renal non-function in horseshoe kidneys secondary to hydronephrosis are presented.
    • The study highlights the diagnostic challenges and key imaging findings associated with this condition.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial to prevent severe surgical and medical complications.
    • Understanding these specific imaging features aids in timely intervention for affected patients.
