Pelvic kidney in infants and children: experience with 16 cases.
Sixteen cases of pelvic kidney were treated in the past 12 yr. Some are associated with other major malformations including ureteropelvic junction obstruction, vesicoureteral reflux, ectopic ureter, vaginal atresia, and vertebral anomalies. The pivotal role of the resorbing mesonephros and its duct in Mullerian duct development and in renal development and ascent are considered.
