Abstract
Introduction: Congenital anomalies of the kidney are a common renal pathology diagnosed in childhood or middle age. The varieties of these anomalies and their ensuing complications often pose a challenge to accurate diagnosis and timely management.
Methods: The spectrum of congenital anomalies and their complications were evaluated in this observational cross-sectional study. Ultrasonography and Color Doppler was used along with CT Scan and IVP wherever necessary. The complications produced by these anomalies were also evaluated.
Results: A total of thirty cases were observed over a period of one year. Ectopic kidney was the most commonly observed anomaly followed by duplex collecting system, horse-shoe kidney and autosomally dominant polycystic kidney disease. Calculus, hydronephrosis, calculostasis and pyelonephritis were the most common complications observed.
Conclusion: Radiographic imaging using Ultrasound with Doppler is a very good modality to identify the spectrum of congenital renal anomalies and its complications.
Keywords: kidney, horseshoe, ectopic, duplex, polycystic.
