Abstract
Multicystic dysplastic changes in one half of a horseshoe kidney is an uncommon presentation. Surgical resection of the affected kidney is the treatment of choice. Accurate pre-operative evaluation ensures adequate planning, treatment and optimal outcome. We report the successful management of a 2-year old male child with massive abdominal distension due to multicystic dysplasia of the left half of a horseshoe kidney. Existing literature is reviewed and the challenges of management in this environment are highlighted.Entities:
