Bilateral complete renal duplication with total obstruction of both lower pole collecting systems.
Sepsis and a flank mass developed in a twenty-two-year-old primagravida two days after a normal delivery. Urography showed normal upper pole collecting structures bilaterally. A spherical mass containing curvilinear calcification occupied the left lower pole, and a large inflammatory mass filled the right inferior renal fossa. Angiography and retrograde pyelography demonstrated marked bilateral lower pole hydronephrosis with complete obstruction of the water to each inferior duplicated collecting system.
