Crossed fused renal ectopia: sonographic diagnosis.

J D Goodman, K I Norton, L Carr

    Urologic Radiology
    |January 1, 1986

    Summary

    Ultrasound can accurately diagnose crossed fused renal ectopia, a rare kidney anomaly. Key signs include fused kidneys with differing collecting system orientations and a missing kidney on one side.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Crossed fused renal ectopia is a congenital anomaly where both kidneys are located on the same side of the spine and are fused.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial to differentiate it from other renal pathologies and avoid misdiagnosis.

    Observation:

    • Sonographic diagnosis of five cases of crossed fused renal ectopia was achieved.
    • Key sonographic features include a characteristic anterior/posterior notch, differing collecting system orientations in fused kidneys, and contralateral renal fossa absence.

    Findings:

    • Ultrasound (US) demonstrated specific features allowing for correct identification of crossed fused renal ectopia.
    • Computed tomographic (CT) scans and intravenous urography (IVU) confirmed the sonographic diagnoses.

    Implications:

    • Misdiagnosis of crossed fused renal ectopia can lead to incorrect identification as a renal mass or infiltrative disease.
    • Accurate sonographic diagnosis prevents unnecessary investigations and ensures appropriate patient management.
