Renal rule 15 : Horse shoe kidney

Contrast enhanced CT of abdomen and pelvis shows (1) medial orientation to the lower poles of both kidneys, (2 & 3) parenchymal isthmus (i) crossing midline and fusing underneath the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) (arrow).

3D coronal reconstruction of the CT scan above showing the same findings. i = isthmus. Arrow = IMA.
