ABSTRACT
A horseshoe kidney is the most common renal fusion anomaly. It is well known that horseshoe kidneys may be associated with many urological problems, including calculi, vesicoureteral reflux, and ureteropelvic junction obstruction. However, a horseshoe kidney with unilateral severe hydronephrosis and ureteral hypoplasia is very rare. We report an 11-year-old female who underwent a retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy for a horseshoe kidney with severe hydronephrosis and unilateral ureteral hypoplasia.
