Duplex kidney, a rare congenital anomaly characterised by dual urinary drainage from the kidney, is typically discovered incidentally, often during radiological imaging or autopsy procedures. We report a case of a 21-year-old male who died from injuries sustained in a road traffic accident. The autopsy examination showed an incidental finding of duplex kidney on the left side. We discuss the clinical and potential medico-legal significance of duplex kidney which also has implications in renal transplantation. Notably, the presence of duplex kidney can potentially serve as an identifier in forensic investigations, given its rare incidence. |
