title: [Pathological horseshoe kidney. 30 case reports].
abstract: The authors report a series of 30 horseshoe kidneys observed over a 20-year period. This series consisted of 20 men (66.6%) and 10 women (33.4%) with a mean age of 35 years (20-65 years). The clinical features were dominated by abdominolumbar pain (22 cases), haematuria (12 cases) and pyuria (2 cases). Horseshoe kidney was associated with renal stones (20 cases), ureteropelvic junction syndrome (8 cases), upper urinary tract tumour (1 case). Treatment was surgical depending on the aetiology. The objective of this study was to analyse the epidemiological and diagnostic features of this disease, as well as the therapeutic features specific to each uropathy associated with horseshoe kidney.
