Summary:Bilateral ectopic pelvic kidney is an exceptional finding and it may be associated rarely with other abnormalities of the kidney such as uretero-pelvic junction syndrome. We report a case of bilateral ectopic pelvic kidney revealed by left flanc pain with a left uretero-pelvic junction syndrome and a right ureteral duplication proved by computed tomography. A MAG3 renal scintigraphy was performed confirming the obstructive uretero-pelvic junction. An open left Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty was performed without objectifying, preoperatively, any extrinsic compression without any postoperative complication. This case emphasizes on the possibility of the reconstructive management in such cases.
