Summary:In a student course of gross anatomy dissection at Knagawa Dental College in 2010, we found an extremely rare case of the horseshoe kidney with circumaortic venous ring in a 43-year-old Japanese male cadaver. In this case, the kidney consisted of three parts: the original kidneys on both sides and an isthmus between them. The location of each kidney was lower than that of the normal kidney. The hili on both sides opened toward the ventral direction, and the ureters descended in front of the isthmus and entered the bladder normally. This horseshoe kidney had original left and right renal arteries that branched from the abdominal aorta. There were also two surplus arteries. There were three renal veins on the left side, and these renal veins formed the circumaortic venous ring. The anatomical and embryological significance of this anomaly and its associated vascular system are discussed. The anatomy and etiology of these anomalous structures are discussed with references in the literature.

Horseshoe kidney is one of the most common urologic anomalies, present in about 0.12% of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm. Conventional surgical repair is associated with technical difficulties that probably increase morbidity and mortality but can be avoided with endovascular treatment. We report the case of a 64-year-old patient presenting with horseshoe kidney and abdominal aortic aneurysm and successfully treated with endovascular repair.Keywords: abdominal aortic aneurysm; congenital abnormalities; blood vessel prosthesis implantation. ResumoO rim em ferradura é uma das anomalias urológicas congênitas mais comuns e está presente em cerca de 0,12% dos pacientes com aneurisma de aorta abdominal. O reparo cirúrgico convencional está associado a dificuldades técnicas que provavelmente aumentam a morbidade e a mortalidade, mas que podem ser evitadas com o tratamento endovascular. Relatamos um caso de um paciente de 64 anos com rim em ferradura e aneurisma de aorta abdominal, que foi submetido ao reparo endovascular do aneurisma com sucesso.Palavras-chave: aneurisma de aorta abdominal; anormalidades congênitas; implante de prótese vascular.

“…1,2 The isthmus overlying the aorta presents many problems for OR 1,2 ; division is associated with risks of urinary leaks, fistula, sepsis and haemorrhage, 1,2 whilst leaving the isthmus intact may make the aorta inaccessible causing difficulty controlling back bleeding. 1,2 70% of HSK occur with renovascular anomalies; most commonly two normal main renal arteries and one accessory vessel arising from the common iliac arteries, 1,3 though the anomalous vessels may vary in number and location. 3 In the past, this has presented obstacles for the surgeon as these accessory renal vessels supply variable portions of the HSK.…”

“…1 Aberrant renal vasculature often makes open repair (OR) in these patients technically challenging. 2 Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) provides more creative options in the management of this often difficult group. We report a case of a patient with an AAA and coincident HSK with arterio-venous abnormalities.…”
