Imaging of anatomic variations in a case of supernumerary kidney
Journal Title: The Journal of Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Supernumerary kidneys are extremely unusual entities. We present the case of a 14-years-old female with three wellfunctioning kidneys in whom a reniform abdominal mass was discovered during ultrasound examination performed for right lower quadrant pain. Herein we present the excretory urography, computed tomography, and CT angiography findings in this patient. This paper also describes the aberrant trajectory of some vessels and other associated variants. Knowledge of this condition (and its vascular anatomy) is interesting because it has important implications for any surgical planning and for possible complications.
