Crossed renal ectopia with fusion: report of two cases and review of the literature

Association Between Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis and Cross-Fused Renalectopia: A New Cause of Secondary Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis or a Casual Association?

“…Some patients remain asymptomatic until the fourth or fifth decade of life, and 20-30% of cases are only discovered as an accidental finding in routine exams [1,2]. Here, we report a case of cross-fused ectopic kidneys presenting with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a combination that has not been described previously in the literature.…”

“…Congenital renal/ureteral abnormalities, including renal hypo- plasia, horseshoe kidney, simple or crossed ectopic kidneys, rotational defects and renal agenesis, occur in 3-4% of newborns [1][2][3]. Clinical complications of these abnormalities consist of urinary infection, kidney stones, abdominal mass or pain, dysuria, hematuria, and oliguria.…”

“…Clinical complications of these abnormalities consist of urinary infection, kidney stones, abdominal mass or pain, dysuria, hematuria, and oliguria. There may be anatomical manifestations, such as hydronephrosis in the ureteropelvic junction or vesicoureteral reflux [1,2].…”

“…It has a reported frequency of 1 case per 700 -1,000 births, and usually (85-90%) occurs with fusion [1]. Patients with cross renal ectopia may present with ureteropelvic obstruction, vesicoureteral reflux, and multicystic dysplasia, as well as nephrolithiasis and recurrent urinary tract infections [1].…”

“…Assim, a disponibilidade de novos materiais de ensino permite maior interação do aluno com o conteúdo, possibilitando a melhor construção do saber (Lima et al, 2008). No estudo de Cardinot et al (2014) foi evidenciado a grande importância no ensino de anatomia humana, mas apesar dos alunos reconhecerem o peso da disciplina na sua formação profissional, os mesmos apresentam dificuldade no aprendizado da disciplina. Dessa forma, os métodos alternativos no ensino/ aprendizagem de anatomia humana facilitam a compreensão e fixação dos conteúdos anatômicos pela representação e o contato dos alunos com a realidade dos sistemas do corpo humano (Carvalho e Greggio, 2006; Piazza e Filho, 2009; Fornaziero et al,…”
