Spontaneous rupture of an L-shaped kidney.
A case of spontaneous renal rupture caused by obstruction due to a ureteral stone in the L-shaped kidney of a young obese, diabetic man is reported. The role of CT beside excretory urography and ultrasound is emphasized in the diagnosis of crossed renal ectopia, and the transabdominal approach is recommended to resolve its complications needing operative management.
