The Case Forty-One of Crossed Unfused Renal Ectopia - Background: Renal ectopia is a congenital abnormality in which one or both kidneys are located in an unusual position. Crossed renal ectopia is mostly asymptomatic, but sometimes is associated with abdominal or flank pain, abdominal mass, hematuria, and urinary tract infections. Crossed renal ectopia without fusion is one of the rarest abnormalities of the urinary system with about 40 cases reported in the literature. The condition has not been reported in Iraq. Patients and methods: A five year old boy with renal abnormalities on abdominal ultrasound was studied. Results: M.R.A, five year old boy who was evaluated with abdominal ultrasound after treatment for urinary tract infection. Ultrasound showed that the right kidney was normal in size, position, and shape, but the left kidney was present on the right side of the upper abdomen near the right kidney. The left kidney was normal in size and had normal parenchyma. Renal function tests showed normal findings. Conclusion: Apart from autopsy studies, the case forty-one of crossed unfused renal ectopia is reported. Keywords: crossed renal ectopia, unfused, Iraq.
