Abstract

Subdiaphragmatic ectopic kidney is a rare developmental anomaly. If ascent of the kidney to its vascular ladder so as to reach its adult subcos-tal retroperitoneal position is prolonged, this will cause the kidney to be partially in the thoracic ca-vity, which will press on the incompletely formed diaphragm, leading to a thin membranous diaph-ragm covering it. Here, we report a 22 year old female patient with a left subdiaphragmatic ec-topic kidney. On her physical examination there was only a mild blunt left lumbar pain. We aimed to discuss the features of congenital subdiaphrag-matic ectopic kidney and review of the literature.

Key Words: Kidney, Ectopic, Subdiaphragma
