S Morimoto, H Sangen, M Takamatsu

    The Journal of Urology
    |November 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study describes a rare congenital anomaly: siblings with a single kidney and a single calix. This finding highlights a unique presentation of solitary kidney anomaly in a familial context.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Genetics
    • Pediatric Nephrology

    Background:

    • Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are common in pediatrics.
    • Solitary kidney, or renal agenesis, can occur unilaterally or bilaterally.
    • Associated anomalies may include calyceal abnormalities, though familial occurrence is less common.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a unique familial case of solitary kidney with a solitary calix.
    • To discuss the implications of this rare anomaly in siblings.
    • To contribute to the understanding of genetic and developmental factors in CAKUT.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report detailing clinical presentation and imaging findings.
    • Review of relevant medical literature on solitary kidney and calyceal anomalies.
    • Genetic counseling and family history assessment.

    Main Results:

    • Description of two siblings presenting with a solitary kidney.
    • Identification of a single calix within the solitary kidney in both affected siblings.
    • Absence of other significant congenital anomalies in the reported cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The co-occurrence of solitary kidney and solitary calix in siblings represents an exceptionally rare congenital anomaly.
    • This case underscores the importance of considering familial patterns in CAKUT.
    • Further research into the genetic underpinnings of such familial renal anomalies is warranted.
