Case report
We present a case of left ectopic kidney diagnosed at 22 weeks. The left kidney was localized near the left iliac wing while the right kidney was normal in structure and location. The ectopic kidney grew normally during pregnancy. We also found multiple vascularization of the ectopic kidney. The findings were confirmed by sonography after birth. Unfortunately, vascularization of the ectopic kidney was not studied during the postnatal sonography and the newborn was lost from our follow up.
Images 1, 2: 22 weeks. Image 1 shows positions of both kidneys. The left kidney (LK) appears clearly below the stomach, while the right kidney (RK) seems to be in normal position. Image 2 shows relation of the left ectopic kidney to the iliac wing (IW).
