Aim: This study aims to examine the role of intravenous pyelography (IVP) in the evaluation of developmental renal anomalies.
Materials And Method: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 26 subjects presenting with loin pain and suspicion of renal anomalies, subjected to IVP at ACS Medical College and Hospital, Chennai. Descriptive statistics were used for frequency and percentage.
Results: The study population consisted of 61.5% males and 38.5% females, indicating a male predilection for renal anomalies. Horseshoe kidney (31%) and duplex collecting system (23%) were the most prevalent anomalies, underscoring the importance of early detection and tailored management. Less frequent anomalies included malrotation, ectopic kidney, crossed renal ectopia, and unilateral renal agenesis.
Conclusion: Despite advancements in imaging technology, IVP remains relevant for detailed anatomical and functional assessment of the urinary tract. This study highlights the importance of proactive management and multidisciplinary collaboration in optimizing outcomes for patients with developmental renal anomalies.

Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is a common renal malformation with unique and complex characteristics. A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed and ScienceDirect databases. Several theories have been proposed regarding HSK formation, such as the close apposition of the kidneys during ascent through an arterial fork, lateral flexion of the trunk, and caudal embryonic rotation.

Background: The current development of gynecology services for children and adolescents seeks to meet needs both in the overall population and in patients with rare diseases. In France, the referral center for rare gynecological diseases specializes in four major types of conditions, namely, uterovaginal malformations, hereditary hemorrhagic diseases, rare benign breast diseases, and gynecological repercussions of rare chronic diseases.
Objective: To describe consecutive patients who had a first visit in 2018-2023 at the referral center for rare gynecological diseases at the Necker Pediatric University Hospital in Paris, France, and who were diagnosed with a condition in any of the four categories listed above.

Background: Zinner syndrome is a rare congenital malformation of the male genitourinary system, characterized by a triad: seminal vesicle cyst, unilateral renal agenesis, and ipsilateral ejaculatory duct obstruction. The etiology of this uncommon disease remains largely elusive; however, genetic mutations may contribute to its development. In this report, we present a case of symptomatic Zinner syndrome that was surgically treated, alongside an investigation into the potential genetic basis of the syndrome via whole exome sequencing.

Calciphylaxis, or calcific uremic arteriolopathy, is a rare condition with a poorly understood pathophysiology. It is often associated with diseases that cause abnormalities in calcium metabolism, such as end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and hyperparathyroidism. While it most often affects the skin, involvement of extracutaneous organs, called systemic calciphylaxis, has been reported.
