The Rarest of the Rare: Crossed Fused Renal Ectopia of the Superior Ectopia Type

Abstract EN

Crossed fused renal ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly of the urinary system where one kidney crosses over to opposite side and the parenchyma of the two kidneys fuse.

Herein, we present an atypical CFRE case whose renal anatomy does not exactly match any of the already defined CFRE types.

Both of the kidneys are ectopic with the crossed ectopic right kidney lying superiorly and fused to the upper pole of the left kidney.

Renal arteries were originating from the common iliac arteries.

A focal 90% stenosis was observed on the right main renal artery.

The patient is borderline hypertensive.
