Abstract
A unicalyceal kidney is a very rare anomaly of the urinary system. We report 4 cases of unicalyceal kidneys in infants. All cases were associated with ureteral anomalies: megaureter on the involved side, and/or ectopic ureter with vesicoureteral reflux or renal agenesis on the contralateral side. In order to preserve renal function we recommend surgical treatment for patients with unicalyceal kidney when they have ureteral anomalies.
