Abstract
Thoracic ectopic kidney with congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a rare congenital malformation. We report a case of right thoracic ectopic kidney associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia in a 4-year-old girl. Chest X-ray indicated the right diaphragmatic distention and contrast-enhanced CT showed thoracic ectopic kidney. We chose thoracoscopic approach for a complete anatomical repair. The bottom of the lower lobe of the right lung adhered to the hernia sac. Right thoracic ectopic kidney was pushed into abdominal cavity and congenital diaphragmatic defect was closed. Postoperative hemodynamics and renal function were normal. We review similar literatures and summarize surgical experience.
