Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Nephrology
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Solitary crossed renal ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly where a single kidney is located on the contralateral side of the abdomen.
  • This condition often presents with other congenital abnormalities, particularly within the genitourinary and skeletal systems.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old male, initially monitored for potential cardiovascular issues, was diagnosed with a solitary right kidney exhibiting left-sided vesical drainage.
  • A review of 33 reported cases of solitary crossed renal ectopia revealed frequent co-occurrence with genitourinary and skeletal system anomalies.

Findings:

  • The literature review found no documented instances of associated cardiac anomalies in patients with solitary crossed renal ectopia.
  • The current case adds to the understanding of this rare condition and its associated anomalies.

Implications:

  • This study emphasizes the importance of comprehensive evaluation for associated congenital anomalies in patients diagnosed with solitary crossed renal ectopia.
  • Further research may elucidate the specific embryological factors contributing to the observed anomaly patterns and the absence of cardiac involvement.
