Crossed renal ectopia and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
A case of crossed renal ectopia assoicated with abdominal aortic aneurysm is reported. This is believed to be the first known case of these entities occurring together. It is important for the urologist to be cognizant of the possibility of such an association so that appropriate surgical correction of the aneurysm may be carried out without undue delay. The importance of a preoperative intravenous pyelogram for all patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is stressed.
