The author's report a case of fused pelvic kidneys detected on ultrasonographic examination referred to our department for diuresis renography to assess renal dynamics and exclude the possibility of urinary tract obstruction. Renal scan demonstrated a fused pelvic mass with an hourglass configuration functioning normally without obstruction. The authors present this case to depict the Hourglass Sign found to be associated with fused pelvic kidneys.
