Of 7 fetuses with crossed fused renal ectopia,the kidneys were ectopic from left to right in 5 fetuses and from right to left in 2 fetuses. The two kidneys were S-shaped fusion in 3 fetuses, L-shaped fusion in 2 fetuses, and disc-shaped fusion in one fetus, cake-shaped fusion in one fetus.Complicated malformations: hypoplastic left heart syndrome in one case, spinal cord malformation in2 cases, multicystic dysplastic kidney in 2 cases.
