Sumario:Objective: To report various therapeutic modalities for urological disorders associated with the horseshoe kidney. The horseshoe kidney is a malformation of the upper urinary tract, most often asymptomatic. Methods: Through a series of three cases of pathological horseshoe kidneys that were associated with renal lithiasis, a syndrome of the pyelo-ureteric junction, tumour of the excretory ways, and finally traumatic. Results: The specific characteristics of this rare malformation are underlined, and the therapeutic peculiarities adopted before each horseshoe kidney uropathy are discussed. Conclusion: The topographic and vascular features must be taken into consideration before any therapeutic therapy for renal pathology on a horseshoe kidney.
