Summary1 A case of congenital renal agenesia is reported of sufficient degree to be termed congenital solitary kidney. 2 A review of the literature reveals the frequency with which this condition is associated with genital defects and other pathological conditions of the solitary kidney. 3 Though this case showed only one ureteric orifice in the bladder, such is not always the case. 4 The theory of causation is briefly mentioned.
