“…Furthermore, this congenital anomaly sometimes appears combined with non-urinary tract anomalies. Loganathan and Bal, in their study of 36 pediatric patients, found anorectal anomalies to be predominantly associated with CFRE [8]. In our case, a radiological examination did not reveal any associated urological anomaly.…”

Crossed fused renal ectopia (CFRE) is a rare congenital abnormality of the urinary tract where the kidneys are fused on one side, while the ureter of the ectopic kidney crosses the midline with the normal entrance in the bladder on the contralateral side. Congenital anomalies are associated with a stone formation whose management represents a real challenge. To our knowledge, we report the second case of CFRE associated with ureteral stone, which has been successfully resolved with Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL) and the first of its kind where a sufficient degree of stone disintegration has been achieved after a single session with a complete stone clearance during the follow-up. Radiological examination showed an inferior type of CFRE with stone in the proximal part of the ureter of the upper kidney. ESWL is an acceptable and effective treatment option in CFRE patients due to the minimally invasive approach, potentially high stone-free rate, and rare complications.

“…Nonetheless, many of the clinical implications and possible complications of CFRE are similar to those related to general anomalies of upper urinary tract anatomy [13,18].…”

“…CFRE is usually concomitant with congenital malformations of other systems, such as: skeletal, genitourinary, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal. (Türkvatan et al 2009;Rehder et al 2019;Loganathan and Bal 2019) In this case, it is worth paying attention to the ureter due to its double shape.…”

Knowledge of anatomical anomalies is significant for all specialists in clinical practice and may prevent serious complications following medical procedures. This report presents the rare crossed fused renal ectopia (CFRE) with atypical renal vasculature in cadaver of a 68-year-old man. The ectopic kidney was located on right side with four renal veins, three renal arteries, two ureters, where one of them is double. The embryological background, as well as the potential clinical significance of this morphological variation, is discussed. An interventional radiological and surgical procedure should be appropriately implemented to treat anomalies of vessels and CFRE.
