Summary
The present study reports a horseshoe kidney with a single collecting system and a crossed single ureter associated with pyelolythiasis. An association of a crossed single ureter and a horseshoe kidney has only been mentioned in four previous reports in the available English literature worldwide. We present our management of a 30‑year‑ old patient with this rare congenital malformation and a large stone burden together with a review of the current available literature and suggest explanation.
Key words:
horseshoe kidney, crossed single ureter, pyelolythiasis
