The horseshoe kidney (HSK) is a fusion anomaly of the kidneys with an incidence of 0.25% in general population, being more prevalent in men than women in a 2:1 relation. [1] This abnormality has been discovered clinically in all age groups ranging from fetal life to 80 years, but in autopsy series it is more prevalent in children. [2] This early age prevalence has been explained by high incidence of multiple congenital anomalies associated with the HSK, some of which are incompatible with longterm survival. [3] There is a wide variation in HSK vascular supply and excretory system. Renal arteries can originate from the abdominal aorta (Ao), the iliac arteries, and the inferior mesenteric arteries. Therefore it is important to know the clinical and surgical anatomy of the HSK. Renal transplants with HSK have been performed and for the proper management of this clinical condition it is necessary to understand the surgical difficulties and the most frequent clinical complications such as urolithiasis.In view of this important kidney anomaly, we report a case with a unusual arterial supply.

“…In recent years, numerous abdominal surgeries for patients with fused kidneys have been reported, such as kidney transplantation [5,10], resection of renal carcinoma [6], and surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm [4]. Almost all cases made mention of the complicated vascular system and isthmus in the surgical procedures.…”

Horseshoe Kidney Transplantation Within the Eurotransplant Region1

Abstract: The results of horseshoe kidney transplantation, either en bloc or split, are equal to the posttransplant results of kidneys with a normal anatomy. Bearing in mind the shortage of donors, horseshoe kidneys should certainly be used for transplantation.
