CONGENITAL ANOMALIES OF KIDNEYS DETECTED IN COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

AIM OF STUDY To detect congenital anomalies of kidneys by c o m p u t e d t o m o g r a p h y . M A T E R I A L S A N D METHODS Incidental observation for congenital anomalies of kidneys was made among 500 patients who came for CT abdomen for other varied indications, for a period of 9 months. RESULTS 8 out of 500 patients showed various anomalies, of which horshoe kidney is the commonest one. Each one case of ectopic, crossed fused ectopic, and renal agenesis was detected.2 cases of malrotation was noted. CONCLUSION The knowledge of these anomalies is very important for Radiologists and Urologists, which we can easily detect by computed tomography.
