Abstract: | Renal fusion anomalies are detected incidentally on imaging, with horseshoe kidney being the most common followed by crossed renal ectopia. We report a rare congenital anomaly of renal pyelic fusion with a solitary ureter. Both the renal units were in the normal position and location. This rare anomaly was associated with lumbar vertebral defects, neurogenic bladder, vesico‐ureteric reflux, upper tract dilatation and recurrent urinary tract infections. |
