Bilateral subdiaphragmatic kidneys with right-sided renal malrotation

Abstract Background The subdiaphragmatic kidney is a positional variant of the uncommon cephalad renal ectopia, whereas renal malrotation refers to the anomalous renal hilar position. Both anomalies are rare, possibly under-reported, discovered incidentally on radiological examinations since patient...
