[Horseshoe kidney and hypertension (author's transl)].
The authors report a case of horseshoe kidney responsible for hypertension through a one-sided renal dysplasia. The part of the renal malformation in the development of the hypertension is attested by the activities of renin from renal veins, by the isotopic nephrogram and by the disappearance of the hypertension following the heminephrectomy. The hypertension seems an exceptionnal complication of the horseshoe kidney, which can be surprising given the frequency of this malformation and associated urologic anomalies.
