During the necropsy, a horseshoe Kidney was found, which was never diagnosed according to the patients’ medical history. It is a case relevant in the medical field given the unusual vasculature that was found, because it’s not a usual arrangement. The lack of symptoms and its spontaneous finding during the necropsy, shows us that it’s not a rare find in our environment and that it has a big impact in the surgical fields, and in occasions, with urinary tract infections.<br />Methodology: Descriptive. Informed consent was given by the deceased relatives for the use and analysis of the medical history. ER -
