Complete Ureteral Duplication Associated with Ectopic Ureteral Orifice Opening to Prostatic Urethra: A Case Report

Ectopic ureter is one of the rarely encountered abnormalities of the urinary system resulting from the abnormal relation of the mesonephric canal and ureteric bud during embryonic development. Ectopic ureter, which is more commonly seen in women and associated with duplex collecting system, is an entity that should be remembered in children with complaints of constant urinary incontinence despite normal urination patterns during childhood. In the diagnosis of this case associated frequently with dysplastic kidney, Magnetic Resonance urography (MRU) is an ideal method. Its treatment differs in accordance with kidney function and the location of ectopic ureteral orifice. By reviewing the literature, the objective of this study was to probe into the case of an ectopic ureter opening to prostatic urethra associated with duplex collecting system determined in a male patient who applied to our clinic with the findings of severe obstruction without urinary incontinence.
