ABSTRACT

The presence of an ectopic kidney is unfrequently diagnosed due to the fact that this condition in most cases presents without symptoms, and it has been rarely reported in medical literature worldwide in association with diaphragmatic hernia. We present the case of a female infant with right diaphragmatic hernia along with an ectopic intrathoracic kidney, which was successfully corrected using thoracoscopy with favorable outcome in long term follow up.
