Comunicación de dos casos y revisión de la literatura. Rev Mex Urol 1997;
57(6): 254-258. Intrathoracic kidney. Communication of two cases and
literatura review. ABSTRACT A case of an intrathoracic kidney in a female
patient in neonatal period associated with the scimitar syndrome and
dextrocardia and that of a male patient who was undergoing a study for
lower urinary obstructive syndrome with incidental discovery of
intrathoracic left kidney without radiological alteration except the
abnormal situation is reported. The intrathoracic kidney is more frequent
in the male sex and most common in the left side. There are four
categories or types of intrathoracic kidneys: 1) intrathoracic kidney
with normal dorsal diaphragm development, 2) eventration of the
diaphragm, 3) diaphragmatic hernia (Bochdalek) as a congenital or
acquired diaphragmatic defect and 4) traumatic diaphragmatic rupture with
secondary renal ectopia. The prolonged ascension of the kidney is the
most logical embriologic explanation. Except for the abnormal position,
the function of intrathoracic kidney is normal and the urether provides
an adequated drenage. Usually, it is asymptomatic and does not require
surgical treatment. The differential radiologic diagnosis of the
intrathoracic kidney includes thoracic or diaphragmatic tumors. Key words:
Renal ectopy, intrathoracic kidney, scimitar syndrome. Key: Ur 76-5
Laryngeal
problems in the scimitar syndrome
P. van den Broek and W.
Kersing The scimitar syndrome is a congenital anomaly of the venous
system of the right lung.
This diagnosis is suspected when a scimitarlike shadow is found on the
thoracic roentgenogram; the definitive diagnosis is made by angiography
when an abnormal outflow of the venous system of the right lung is found.
Dyspnea and recurrent infections are the most prominent clinical feature.
In a child with the scimitar syndrome, a laryngeal anomaly was found that
caused stridor from birth onwards. A right-sided arytenoidectomy was
performed with relief of all the symptoms. The follow-up period has been
two years.
