Abstract
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of the kidney. It is uncommon in children, and
formation of spontaneous pyeloduodenal fistula is exceedingly rare. Computed tomography (CT) scan is useful in comprehensive
preoperative evaluation and detection of associated congenital anomalies. It is also accurate in detection and delineation of fistulous
tracts. We present a case of XGP in a young girl with malrotation of gut and horseshoe kidney complicated as spontaneous pyeloduodenal fistula and psoas abscess. Here, we demonstrate the role of imaging, especially CT scan, in the preoperative diagnosis of such fistula.
