A 22-year old female was referred to our hospital for CT-evaluation of the abdomen. Her medical history revealed a congenital lumbosacral spina bifida with meningomyelocele, which was surgically closed at the age of 22 months. She had a neurogenic bladder with hydronephrosis of the right kidney and recurrent upper urinary tract infections. Her left kidney had been resected for renal atrophy. She had a rudimentary uterus with imperforate hymen. A fusion of the adrenal glands, with retroaortic bridging, was incidentally found (A-C).
