A review of three cases of aortic aneurysm in association with a horseshoe kidney is presented. Both the transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approaches to the aneurysm are detailed and the relative advantages and disadvantages outlined. The conventional approach of transection of the renal isthmus is not recommended because of the possibility of damage to the collecting system of the horseshoe kidney. The place of specialized investigations is outlined.
