Thiscongenital malformation can remain asymptomatic in 30% of cases and diagnosed incidentally during aradiological examination. The horseshoe kidney may increase the risk for occurrence of pyelonephritisor renal lithiases which may be accompanied by urinary tract dilation or vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).We reported two clinical cases consulting for a picture of obstructive pyelonephritic revealing horseshoekidneys.
