[Deviation of the abdominal aorta and common iliac arteries due to aging and kidney dystopia].

A specific peculiarity in the relief changeability and position of the abdominal aorta, the common iliac arteries is a segmentary deformity occurring in aged persons as a result of atherosclerotic alterations in their walls. A congenital homolateral dystopia, horseshoe and double kidney are rather seldom developmental anomalies in mature persons. In newborns, however, they are found 6-7 times more often and together with other congenital defects of the kidneys make evidently an often cause of the fetal and infantile death.
