“…Almost always there is malrotation and skeletal, genital, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal system anomalies often coexist [208]. Purpon [209] showed the existence of cases with crossed renal ectopy with solitary kidney as an exceptional finding. However, Cranitis and Terhort [210] reported case number 25 in the world literature, and later there have been several communications [211,212] stating the existence of multiple genitourinary anomalies and associated skeletal anomalies.…”

Female genital tract malformations are frequently a cause of reproductive problems. Besides, complex malformations also frequently generate serious gynecological problems, often ones with inappropriate surgical solutions, as the gynecologist does not think of the malformation as either the cause of the symptoms or of its embryonary origin. Apart from analyzing the embryological bases in the development of the female genital tract and insisting on the well known müllerian origin of the uterus, the ratification of the embryological hypothesis about the origin of the human vagina from the Wolff ducts and the Müller tubercle allows us to not only advance in knowledge but to use that knowledge for better clinical management of the problems generated by the complex malformations of the female genital tract. In this review we study the methods and means for the diagnosis of female genital-urinary malformations, their classification and clinical findings, and especially those cases involving unilateral renal agenesis, vaginal ectopic ureter and other complex malformations. We also analyze the related obstetric and gynecologic pathology, and especially that cases of complex genital malformations. We review the related literature and some interesting case reports, as well as our experimental studies in rats. After reasserting our hypothesis about the embryology of the human vagina as derived from the Wolff ducts and the Müller tubercle, we suggest different recommendations for a better approach and management of the malformations of the female genital tract according to the findings observed in different diagnostic procedures.

“…The etiology of crossed renal ectopia is not clear. Purpon (1963) proposed that the developing kidney crosses to the opposite side; however, Marshall and Freedman (1978) suggest that abnormal development of the ureteral bud is responsible for the ectopic position of the kidney rather than abnormal migration of the metanephros. This combination of embryologic abnormalities has not, to the best of our knowledge, previously been described with AAA.…”

Duplicated inferior vena cava and crossed renal ectopia with abdominal aortic aneurysm: Preoperative anatomic studies facilitate surgery

et al. 2003

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abdominal aortic aneurysm in association with duplication of the inferior vena cava and crossed renal ectopia is described for the first time. Preoperative imaging with computer-aided tomography provided good visualization of the local anatomy, allowing the surgical approach to be adapted for the best access to the surgical site. A retroperitoneal approach was successfully used for repair of the abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Crossed renal ectopia is a rare congenital malformation and is the second most common fusion anomaly after a horseshoe kidney. Crossed ectopic kidneys are fused to their ipsilateral mate in 90% of cases. crossed fused renal ectopia is usually diagnosed when other disease states are being investigated. It rarely causes significant clinical problems. Treatment is only indicated for the complication of the anomaly rather than for the anomaly itself.
