Sonography can be used to detect horseshoe kidneys. Sonographic findings for horseshoe kidney commonly include an isthmus connection occurring anterior to the aorta and just inferior to the inferior mesenteric artery. This anomaly can occur with or without complications. Each kidney is associated with its separate collecting system, leading to increased risk for complications. This case study describes the importance of identifying a horseshoe kidney, isthmus, and blood supply to ensure prompt intervention if needed. A case report of a horseshoe kidney with a solid mass, in the isthmus, is provided.
