Abstract

Pancake kidney results from failure of the kidneys to ascend, which may lead to fusion of the two renal masses. Reviewing the literature, this is the first case of antenatal diagnosis from India. No other associated extrarenal abnormalities were found. Postnatal follow up was also performed which confirmed the antenatal diagnosis.
