Download
Info
Bilateral malrotated kidneys, in which the hila face anteriorly. This is seen in both the portal venous and delayed phases.
Case Discussion
This study demonstrated renal malrotation, which is a normal variant. Poor drainage of the collecting system because of the position of the renal pelvis, can predispose the kidney to infection (due to urinary stasis) and stone formation.
