AB Congenital  anomalies  occur  more  frequently  in  the  kidney  than  in  any  other  organ.  Some  cause  no  difficulty,  but  many  (eg,  hypoplasia,  polycystic  kidneys)  cause  impairment  of  renal  function.  It  has  been  noted  that  children  with  a  gross  deformity  of  an  external  ear  associated  with  ipsilateral  maldevelopment  of  the  facial  bones  are  apt  to  have  a  congenital  abnormality  of  the  kidney  (eg,  ectopy,  hypoplasia)  on  the  same  side  as  the  visible  deformity.  Lateral  displacement  of  the  nipples  has  been  observed  in  association  with  bilateral  renal  hypoplasia.
