Blind-Ending Bifid Ureter and Its Embryological Correlation: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
The blind-ending bifid ureter is a rare congenital anomaly of urinary system. We presented one case of the blind-ending bifid ureter which originates from the middle third ureter. The embryogenesis and possible mechanisms are reviewed. Changing positions in projections during intravenous urography provides more information of the blindending branch. Intravenous urography is one of the best modality to diagnose the blind-ending bifid ureter.

Herein we present a rare ureteric duplication anomaly; blind ending bifid ureter with calculi which is asymptomatic unless complicated by infection, reflux, calculi or malignancy.

In this case the diagnosis was established with ultrasound (US) and mainly with multide...
