As with unilateralduplication of the pelvis, the upper pelvis of the fused kidneyis usually distinctly smaller than the lower pelvis. In the two pelves of a fused kidney are visible. The upperpelvis is unusually small, and is separated from the lowerpelvis by enough tissue to permit of bisection. The lowerpelvis is distinctly dilated, the hydronephrosis being caused CONGENITAL ANOMALY 3(J7 by constriction in the ureter a short distance below the pel-vis. The extent of the hydronephrosis is obscured by theshadow of the vertebrae. The course of the ureters and their relation to their re-spective pelves in the fused kidney are anomalous. Theureter is frequently markedly tortuous and circuitous in its.
