Abstract
We report a case of a 49-year-old woman with a rare anomaly, intrathoracic renal ectopia. Her medical history includes a surgically corrected congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which can cause late presentations of diaphragmatic hernia in adult life. The Tc-MAG3 renogram demonstrated slower emptying of the dilated pelvis of the ectopic kidney than the normal kidney. The curve confirmed a delayed Tmax, followed by a distinct decline. These features are not indicative of a complete obstruction, but can result from partial obstruction, renal dysfunction with poor response to diuresis, pelvic dilatation (such as in our patient), or a combination.
