Fused Right Supernumerary Kidney: A Case Report

Supernumerary kidney is a rare clinical entity with fused supernumerary kidney being even rarer. Caudally located fused right supernumerary kidney with multiple nephrolithiasis was diagnosed in a 69-years-old lady by Computed Tomography Urography. A separate renal artery arising from the abdominal aorta as well as separate renal vein draining into the inferior vena cava was present along with right sided bifid collecting system. Embryological basis of origin of supernumerary kidney, its diagnosis, clinical significance and management are discussed.

Routine Chest

A 36-year-old asymptomatic female had a routine chest radiograph to exclude pulmonary tuberculosis, as part of an employee wellness programme. There was opacification of the right lower thorax. Computed tomography and venography demonstrated an incidental right Bochdalek hernia with interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and hepatic venous collateral continuation. The association of a Bochdalek hernia with an anomaly of the IVC is rare, with only one case described in the literature.

Computed Tomography Urography

RETROCAVAL URETER (or PRE-URETERAL VENA CAVA) is a rare congenital abnormality arising from dysgenesis of the inferior vena cava (IVC) that results in the right ureter coursing posterior and medial to the inferior vena cava (IVC), causing varying degrees of obstructive proximal hydroureteronephrosis, a rare cause of long-standing cyclical flank pain. Retrocaval ureter (or Pre-ureteral vena cava) is asymptomatic until the 3rd and 4th decades of life from resulting hydronephrosis. Ultrasonography (USG), Intravenous urography (IVU), nuclear scintigraphy, Computed tomography urography (CTU), and Magnetic resonance urography (MRU) have been used in the diagnosis of this abnormality. Computed tomography urography (CTU) depicts the findings in three dimensions gives the most “wholesome” solution to its diagnosis. This condition is differentiated from other urinary tract obstruction causes, especially urolithiasis, essential for successful surgical management. When symptomatic, the situation is treated surgically, either by laparoscopic or open surgery. We report a case of a 50 years old male both with right flank pain and associated hydronephrosis.

The Right

Variations of course and number of renal vessels are not so uncommon and their knowledge is important for planning of minimally invasive renal surgeries. The earlier literature reports a prevalence of precaval right renal artery between 0.8% and 5%. Normally, the right renal artery passes posterior to the inferior vena cava, but it can also be precaval where it passes anterior to inferior vena cava. The multidetector row contrast enhanced computed tomography angiography allows precise evaluation of renal vasculature. The aim of this retrospective study is to determine the prevalence of precaval right renal artery. Amongst 73 MDCT scans studied, we identified 4 cases of precaval right renal artery with the prevalence being 5.48%, more than what is reported in the earlier literature. We also report a single and dominant precaval right renal artery in one of the cases, which is a rare finding. On the basis of these results, we conclude that precaval right renal artery appears to be more common and so the knowledge of this variant holds a major clinical implication in preventing misinterpretation of radiological images and proper planning of interventional procedures and minimally invasive surgeries.
