Zusammenfassung
Intrathorakale Nieren sind seltene und meist zufällig erhobene Befunde. Eine Besprechung der Fachliteratur über intrathorakale Nieren bei Kindern und Erwachsenen soll die Schwerpunkte der diagnostischen Vorangehensweise und der Indikation zur operativen Versorgung beleuchten. Ergänzend wird der Fall einer 35-jährigen Frau mit dem Rezidiv einer linksseitigen intrathorakalen Niere nach Schwangerschaft diskutiert.
Abstract
Intrathoracic kidneys are rare and are often only diagnosed incidentally. The literature on intrathoracic kidneys in children and adults is reviewed and discussed, focusing on diagnostic procedures and surgical therapy. Additionally, the case of a 35-year-old woman with a relapse of a left-sided intrathoracic kidney after pregnancy is reported. Diagnostic procedures and the surgical management are discussed.
