A Unique Case of Ectopic Kidney with Variant Vasculature: A Congenital Anomaly Masquerading as Pyelonephritis

Abstract

There are several documented cases of ectopic and kidneys with supernumerary vasculature. However, we report a unique case of ectopic kidney with the right renal vessels originating from the left common iliac arteries as demonstrated by a contrast Abdomino-pelvic CT scan. The patient was at first clinically diagnosed with acute pyelonephritis.
