[Horseshoe kidney--is the diagnosis possible by ultrasound? (author's transl)].
Within one year among six-thousand patients eight with horseshoe kidney were examined by sonography. In four patients the primary diagnosis was made by ultrasonic demonstration. In two patients a lymphoma and an aortic aneurysm were supposed; the correct diagnosis was established by angiography and computer tomography. In the other two patients with already known diagnosis a typical ultrasonic picture was found. The diagnostic difficulties in ultrasonic demonstration of horseshoe kidney are discussed.
