Abstract Introduction Pelvo-ureteric junction obstruction and duplex kidney are common radiological findings. However pelvo-ureteric junction obstruction in a duplex kidney is a rare finding. We present the case of a patient who presented with septic complications secondary to this combination. Case presentation An adult woman presented with urinary sepsis and her initial investigation with ultrasound revealed hydronephrosis of the lower moiety of a duplex kidney. Further investigations with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed an associated intrarenal abscess and a pelvo-ureteric junction obstruction of the lower moiety of a duplex kidney. Conclusion This patient had a rare and unreported complication of an unusual congenital urological abnormality. This case report highlights the role of multiple imaging modalities in correct diagnosis for clinical management. Introduction Pelvo-ureteric junction obstruction PUJO is a relatively common finding during urological investigation as is duplex kidney. PUJO is the most .
