Abstract
Horseshoe kidney is a fairly common genetic renal anomaly. The caudal ends of the kidney fuse together to create a parenchymatous isthmus which cannot ascend out of pelvic cavity as the inferior mesenteric artery prevents its further migration. Urogenital systems are closely associated in their development topography and function and are developed from two important structures the intermediate mesoderm and cloaca.During dissection of male cadaver in the dissection hall of the Shareera Rachana Department a horseshoe kidney variation was observed and the same is emphasised in this article. It is important to be aware of this renal anomaly for clinical practice especially during renal surgical procedures transplants or other procedures.nbsp
