ABSTRACT

The case report of a 14 years white adolescent, who went to the Satelital Urban Health Center of Tena Ecuadorian amazonía is presented due to a sustained pain of moderate intensity in the right flank with irradiation to the thigh of the same side. An abdominal ultrasound was carried out that indicated the existence of a horseshoe kidney and possible agenesis of this organ in the right side, reason why it was decided to make an excretor urogram whose results showed a left crossed renal ectopia. The patient began prophylactic treatment with follow up every three months and he had a favorable clinical course.
