Ectopic crossed fused kidney in a fetus approx. 34 weeks

Crossed dystopia (syn.unilateral fusion cross fused renal ectopia) is a rare form of

renal parenchyma
(unilateral long kidney) or the pelvis of the crossed kidney faces laterally (unilateral S-shaped kidney). Urogram is diagnostic.

The anomaly can be diagnosed through ultrasound or

urography, but surgical intervention is only necessary if there are other complications, such as tumors or pyelonephritis.[citation needed
