Abstract EN
Background.
We report the case of a male infant whose right kidney migrated to an ectopic position after birth.
The migration of a kidney in postnatal life without any symptoms has not been reported in literature so far.
Case Presentation.
In a series of antenatal and the first postnatal ultrasound scans, the right kidney was normally located within the right renal fossa.
During the first 3 months of life, the kidney migrated to a subdiaphragmatic position.
This was confirmed on MRI scan.
The infant was asymptomatic with normal renal function and blood pressure.
Conclusion.
Postnatal migration of a kidney has been described in cases of diaphragmatic hernia or nephroptosis.
In this report, we describe a case of kidney migration where there were no underlying anatomical defects to provide an explanation for the kidney migration.
This is the first report in literature of a case of postnatal migration of a kidney.
