چکیده
Horseshoe kidney is a congenital disorder of the kidney, caused by the fusion of the lower poles in both kidneys before their rotation around their axis, between weeks 4 and 6 of pregnancy, so that they are joined by an isthmus, which can be fibrous or parenchymatous (1). These anomalous kidneys keep a normal function, although they present some anatomical alterations with regard to their vascularization and their excretory pathway.
