Overview
Before 1800 A.D. horseshoe kidney regarded as curiosity finding only at postmortem examination. However with the advent of the roentgen rays and the intravenous pyelography the diagnostic possibilities to recognize the horseshoe kidney improved, which was later on aided by the ultrasound and computed tomography scan by which horseshoe kidney can be easily diagnosed.
