title: Renal pyelic fusion with crossed solitary ureter: case report and review of literature.
abstract: Renal fusion anomalies are detected incidentally on imaging, with horseshoe kidney being the most common followed by crossed renal ectopia. We report a rare congenital anomaly of renal pyelic fusion with a solitary ureter. Both the renal units were in the normal position and location. This rare anomaly was associated with lumbar vertebral defects, neurogenic bladder, vesico-ureteric reflux, upper tract dilatation and recurrent urinary tract infections.
