Abstract EN
Medial nephroptosis was first described as a new disease by Prather in 1948 and defined as abnormal renal mobility towards or across midline.
Since then, only 13 cases were described in the literature.
The last reported case dates back to 1982.
The condition is believed to be neglected for reasons similar to classic nephroptosis.
Here in, we present a case of symptomatic medial nephroptosis diagnosed by ultrasound, documented by Computed Tomography for the first time, and successfully treated by laparoscopic nephropexy.
