OBJECTIVE Crossed renal ectopia is an uncommon congenital anomaly with little or no clinical repercussion. An empty renal fossa is not an infrequent ultrasound finding and an anomalous contralateral ectopic kidney can be seen occasionally. RESULTS We report on three clinical cases with an empty renal fossa detected by ultrasound. Scintiscanning with 99mTc DMSA permitted precise diagnosis of the existing malformation. CONCLUSIONS 99mTc DMSA permits precise diagnosis of the empty renal fossa, type of malformation, functional status of the ectopic kidney and the status of its parenchyma.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
