“…Superior migration of the metanephros before completion of diaphragmatic development during the eighth week of gestation is the most common hypothesis of these theories [3,5], In our patient, the intrathoracic left kidney and high placed right kidney may have been caused because of decreased abdominal cavity due to omphalocele and the intra abdominal organs occupying the available space.…”

“…In some cases, anomalously superior origin of the renal vessels has been found [3J, whereas in others the renal vessels are simply longer than normal [3]. The relationship of the superior ectopic kidney to the diaphragm has been variable in those cases investigated by surgery or autopsy [3,5]. Occasionally the kidney resides entirely above the diaphragm.…”

lthough ectopic kidney is a common abnormality, the displacement is usually downwards, towards, the pelvis, or medial. Upward displacement into the thoracic cavity is a much rarer finding, and most of the intrathoracic kidneys are found in males. About 50 cases have been reported in the literature. 1 A diaphragmatic hernia can be seen in 0.25% of cases. 2 In contrast to pelvic kidneys, intrathoracic kidneys are usually asymptomatic, and they are incidentally found on chest radiographs.

Bildirilen vakaların çoğu asemptomatiktir. Biz bu makalede diafragma hernisinin eşlik etmediği bir intratorasik böbrek olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık. İki gündür devam eden ateş, öksürük ve halsizlik yakınmaları olan 24 yaşındaki erkek hasta bir bölge hastanesinin göğüs hastalıkları bölümüne müracaat etmiştir. Çekilen akciğer grafisinde, diafragma sağ yarısında yükselme dışında patoloji saptanmayan hasta ileri tetkik amacıyla hastanemize sevk edildi. Hastanın hastanemizde çekilen kompüterize toraks tomografisinde sağ intratorasik böbrek saptandı. Hastanın sağlıklı olması ve intratorasik böbreğin fonksiyonlarının normal olması nedeniyle hastaya herhangi bir tıbbi tedavi uygulanmadı. Hasta belirli aralıklarla takip programına alındı. İntratorasik böbrek mesaneden oldukça uzak bir mesafede olsa da, herhangi bir yakınmaya neden olmayabilir ve normal fonksiyon gösterebilir. Bu anomali diafragma yükselmesinin değerlendirilmesinde akılda bulundurulması gereken bir durumdur.

Ectopic kidney is a rare congenital malformation, caused by renal malpositioning during embryogenesis. We report a rare case of ectopic kidney located in the left hemithorax of a male fetus. The unique features in this case were early sonographic prenatal diagnosis of thoracic kidney at 22 weeks' gestation, which was confirmed by fetal MRI, and delayed sonographic manifestation of the associated congenital diaphragmatic hernia at 27 weeks. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
