Abstract
Polycystic horseshoe kidney is thought to represent two separate renal diseases. Horseshoe
kidney is a renal fusion anomaly during embryogenesis. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney
disease (ADPKD) is a hereditary disorder due to mutations in the genes responsible for the
expression of the proteins polycystin 1 and polycystin 2. Polycystic horseshoe kidney is very rare
with incidence ranges of 1 in 134 000 to 1 in 8 000 000 live births.
