Objective: To assess the morphological and clinical features of children with renal ectopia (RE) and assess whether the lateralization of ectopia determines the prognosis.\udMethods:The clinical, laboratory and radiological data of 61 patients diagnosed as RE in our center between the years of 2004 and 2014 were retrospectively reviewed.\udResults: There were 32 girls (52.5%) and 48 boys (47.5%). The median age was 48 (2-204) months and follow-up time was 60 (2-120) months. RE was right-sided in 33 (54%) and left-sided in 26 (46%) patients. 52 patients (85.2%) had simple RE whereas 9 (14.8%) had crossed RE. 27 children (44.3%) had additional urinary abnormality, 15 (24.6%) had extra-renal disease. The most common urinary tract malformation was vesicoureteral reflux\ud(VUR) (21%). Renal scarring (RS) was detected in 17 patients (27.9%) on DMSA scan. 32 patients (52.5%) experienced urinary tract infection (UTI), 5 (8.2%) had hypertension, 11 (11%) had proteinuria, 5 (8%) had chronic renal disease (CKD). No significant difference was found between ectopia sides for  evelopment of additional urinary or systemic disease, UTI, proteinuria, hypertension and CKD (p> 0.05).\udConclusion: The children with RE should be carefully examined for additional urinary or systemic abnormalities. Voiding cystourethrogram might be recommended in those patients for the increased risk of VUR. The patients with RE should be closely followed-up for avoiding long term complications including proteinuria, hypertension and CKD because of susceptibility to UTI and RS. The lateralization of ectopia might not affect the incidence of additional abnormality or late complications
