title: Horseshoe kidney and inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm: a case report and literature review.
abstract: The combined presence of an inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm and a horseshoe kidney is a rare event with only one reported case in previously published data. We present a case of a horseshoe kidney with a concomitant 6-cm inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm and a 3.6-cm right iliac artery aneurysm repaired through a transperitoneal approach with aortoiliac reconstruction.
