Horseshoe kidney is the mort common renal anomaly, occuning in approximately 1:400 births. There is a 2:1 male predominance. The abnormality occurs when the kidneys are connected by an ISTHMUS. The anomaly is thought to occur because an abnormal position of the umbilical artery results in disturbance of the normal pattern of cephalic migration. As a result, there is contact between the developing metanephric blastema on each side that leads to partial fusion.
BAND: anterior to IVC and aorta, posterior to IMA

Imaging findings in patients with a horseshoe kidney include

In a randomized prospective study designed to identify which risk factors were important predictors of an increased risk of a contrastreaction, it was concluded that a history of prior contrast medium reaction, asthma, and a history of allergy to food or drugs were the only independent risk factors associated with a statistically important increased risk of reaction.
A history of a SEVERE reaction to contrast media is considered a contraindication to reexamination in all but the most urgent cases.
Most contrast reactions occur within the first 10 minutes after injection of the contrast medium

True or False: For patients with infantile polycystic disease, when the disease presents in older children, the hepatic component is mild, where
as the renal manifestation is more severe (Dunnick Textbook of
Uroradiology, 5th ed, p112)
False
Patients with severe fonns of IPCD have renal failure at birth and most die within the first few days of life.
There seems to be an inverse relationship between the renal and the hepatic manifestations of the disease; when the renal disease is present at birth, the hepatic manifestations are mild.
When the disease present in older children, the hepatic component dominates; whereas the renal manifestations are less severe
In summary:
At birth: renal > hepatic
Older: hepatic > renal
