Abstract:
The horseshoe kidney is a rare anatomical anomaly. It is a major source of stone formation and urinary tract infection, and flexible ureteroscopy is of great value in treating these stones. We report here the case of a 62-year-old patient with a history of stented ischaemic heart disease, arterial hypertension, spina bifida with dorsolumbar scoliosis and lumbosacral meningocele, surgery for a retentionist bladder with placement of a cutaneous ureterostomy on a single right kidney during childhood , Follow-up in urology for mono J catheter change every year and follow-up for chronic renal failure. A CT scan revealed a 13 mm ureteral calculus with upstream ureteropyelocal dilatation in a horseshoe kidney. The patient underwent flexible ureterorenoscopy with fragmentation of the stone.
