Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract are part of a family of diseases with different anatomical origins. Duplicated collecting systems can be defined as a renal unit containing 2 pyelocalyceal systems associated with a single ureter or with double ureters. The supernumerary kidney is a definitive accessory organ with its own collecting system, blood supply, and distinct encapsulated parenchima. The true incidence of supernumerary kidney remains unknown, but most cases are in males, are unilateral and on the left side. We present a case of an adult woman with a hypoplastic supernumerary kidney with a complete ureteral duplication and an ectopic junction. The case has been laparoscopically treated. We demonstrate that a laparoscopic nephro-ureterectomy is feasible and that the management of the complication (urinoma and fistula) can be managed conservatively.

A 5-month-old domestic shorthair cat was presented for evaluation of urinary incontinence since birth. Excretory urography revealed dilated double ectopic ureters draining a hydronephrotic right kidney. Urine culture yielded a pure culture of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The cat was treated initially with bactericidal antibiotics, followed by right-sided nephroureterectomy. The surgery and antibiotic therapy led to complete resolution of urinary incontinence and urinary tract infection. Ureteral duplication is an unusual congenital anomaly that has not been previously reported in the cat.

The urogenital system is more likely to have birth defects than any other system. Of all the urinary tract anomalies, Double ureter is the most common one. It may be incomplete (bind ureter) or complete duplication. In order to collect data for this various medical colleges were approached & 120 cadaveric kidney pairs were examined for the presence or absence of double ureters. It was found that 02 out of all examined kidney pairs were showing this anomaly. One pair was having bilateral double ureters while other was showing right sided ureteric duplication.

Collecting System

Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract are the commonest congenital anomalies in children, often detected prenatally with ultrasound. This method is useful for assesing the degree of dilatation of the collecting system, structure of the kidney parenchyma, amount of amniotic fluid and urinary bladder. Hydronephrosis is the most common among them. Anomalies can be bilateral or unilateral and different defects may coexist in an individual child. Anomalies of other organs and organ systems are often associated with anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract, described in numerous syndromes. Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract can be divided in anomalies of the renal parencyma development, renal embryonic migration and position, cystic kidney diseases and anomalies of the urinary tract (collecting system of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra). They are the commonest cause of end-stage renal disease in children.

We report the fifth case in the English literature of a horseshoe kidney with a complete ureteral duplication. Our case is unique in that the previous four cases occurred in the presence of a ureterocele, whereas our patient lacked this anomaly. Further, our patient was managed conservatively, whereas the previous four patients were managed with surgery.

Collecting System

Duplication of the collecting system is the most common congenital abnormality of the upper urinary tract (0.8-2%), with unilateral duplication more common than bilateral [1-4]. In complete duplication, ureters typically follow the Weigert-Meyer rule of the upper pole inserting caudomedial (may be obstructed) and the lower pole inserting craniolateral (may reflux) in the bladder. Very rarely is there deviation from this pattern. Few cases of uncrossed double ureters with lower pole dysplasia, ureterocele, or ectopia have been reported [5-8]. We report a breach in the law with a case of an asymptomatic 1-month old new-born male with lower pole ureteral ectopia and obstruction. We discuss the importance of thorough work up with emphasis on differential diagnoses and care team-based decisions in the evaluation of paediatric hydronephrosis.

Introduction: Congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT) comprise various structural malformations that result from defects in morphogenesis of the kidney and/or urinary tract. In most cases, CAKUT are associated with infant mortality and morbidity in older children and adults. Hence this study was undertaken to follow up antenatally diagnosed cases of CAKUT and see their outcome in the first six months of life. Material and Methods: An observational follow up study was conducted in the department of Paediatrics in a tertiary care hospital. All inborn neonates, whose antenatal anomaly scans showed the presence of CAKUT were included in the study. Abdominal ultrasound (USG) were done on day three of life for all these neonates and those whose day three USGs showed presence of CAKUT were followed up over a period of six months and outcome was assessed. Results: CAKUT was more common among males. Hydronephrosis was the most common CAKUT in antenatal scans. Anomalies of the renal collecting system formed 93.9% of all CAKUT detected on antenatal anomaly scan and 57.4% of these resolved by six months of age. Abnormalities of the renal collecting system together formed 93.9% of all antenatally diagnosed CAKUT and were more common than abnormalities of the renal parenchyma which formed 6.1%. Postnatal resolution on day three USG was seen in seven out of 22 (31.8%) cases of antenatally diagnosed mild hydronephrosis irrespective of their site. Out of the 28 antenatally diagnosed hydronephrosis, 11 (39.3%) resolved at some point during the follow up period of six months. Conclusions: Antenatally diagnosed CAKUT were more common among male foetuses. On day three scan, 29.2% of CAKUT showed resolution. Hydronephrosis remained the most common antenatally as well as postnatally detected CAKUT. Anomalies of renal collecting system were better detected by antenatal scans than anomalies of renal parenchyma
