Ahmad W, Rubab N, Gillani F, Afzal MS, Imran MB. Ectopic Intrathoracic Kidney due to Diaphragmatic Eventration Detected on Bone Scan. Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2024; 58:95-96. [PMID: 38510826 PMCID: PMC10948715 DOI: 10.1007/s13139-023-00829-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
The technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) whole-body bone scan along with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT) can detect challenging soft tissue uptake patterns. We present a case of a 67-year-old female in whom the 99mTc-MDP scan, performed 3 hours after injection, revealed abnormal soft tissue uptake in the right thoracic region. No functioning right kidney was seen in the right lumbar region. Hybrid SPECT/CT revealed an ectopic right kidney in the subdiaphragmatic location, accompanied by gut loops and eventration of the right-sided diaphragm. This case underscores the value of SPECT/CT in identifying and characterizing unexpected anatomical abnormalities, such as ectopic kidneys.

Abstract
Congenital Diaphragmatic Eventration (DE) requires a prompt diagnosis to avert the potentially life-threatening complications. Herein, a 5-month-old male presented with recurrent respiratory infections due to a right-sided diaphragmatic eventration. Misdiagnosed from previous medical visits, timely surgical intervention by thoracoscopic plication of the diaphragm was crucial for our patient's survival.

Abstract
Gastric volvulus (GV) and wandering spleen (WS) associated with eventration of diaphragm share a common pathological cause of absence or laxity of intraperitoneal ligaments. We herein report a rare case of a 13-year-old child presenting with an acute GV, WS, diaphragmatic eventration and an ectopic ascended kidney managed with a laparoscopic approach.
