Abstract
A case of solitary pelvic ectopic kidney observed in a 21-month-old infant is reported. The infant was seen initially because of the nephrotic syndrome, and the ectopic kidney was found on subsequent examinations. On the basis of laboratory findings, it was believed that the nephrotic syndrome was associated with glomerulonephritis. Surgical exploration confirmed the clinical findings. Hydronephrosis secondary to congenital angulation of the ureter and ureteropelvic obstruction was present. Due to anomalous blood supply, mobilization of the kidney and correction of the ureteral deformity could not be accomplished.
