ABSTRACT
Crossed renal ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly which may give difficulty in diagnosis and management. Eleven cases are reported during a period of six years. Nine were males and two were females, their ages ranged between 20-45 years. Four cases were complicated by calculi. All cases were investigated by the conventional radiological techniques and in four cases angiography by the selective renal and/or semiselective technique was performed in addition.
