[Pelvic ectopia of the kidney in children]

The authors presented the problem of pelvic ectopia of the kidney in children on their two patients. Pelvic ectopia of the kidney is a rare anomaly, while an ectopia of only one kidney is an extremely rare phenomemon. One of the two patients, which are the subject of this summary, was an 18 months old child who had one normal kidney and one ectopic kidney; a nephrectomy was performed. The second patient was an 11 years old child with pelvic ectopia of only one kidney, and a cysto-ureteric reflux. In this case, a reimplantation of the ureter into the vertex of the urinary bladder was performed.
