Abstract :

Crossed fused renal ectopia (CRE) refers to an anomaly where the both kidney situated on the same side of the body. The condition occurs predominantly in males, and inferior ectopia is the most common type. Most cases of CRE are asymptomatic and incidentally diagnosed, except for symptomatic conditions such as urinary tract infections, urolithiasis, and obstruction. The association of CRE with anorectal and urological anomalies has been described separately. Herein, we present a case of inferiortype right fused CRE with imperforate anus, hypospadias with meatal stenosis, bilateral vesicoureteral reflux, and neurogenic bladder with refractory ureterohydronephrosis requiring multiple operations.
