Prolapsed bilateral ureteroceles leading to intermittent outflow obstruction.

چکیده
A ureterocele refers to a cystic dilatation of the distal ureter. It may be unilateral or bilateral and may be associated with a duplex system in some cases. We present an unusual case where a young patient was found to have large bilateral ureteroceles which prolapsed into the urethra, causing intermittent incontinence and obstruction. We discuss the case and review the literature concerning this rare anomaly.

They can be orthotopic, occurring in normal ureteric locations and most commonly seen in adults. On the other hand, heterotopic ureteroceles are located in ectopic ureters or in ectopic duplex renal systems, and are more common in children. Ureterocele causing obstruction i...

متن کاملTransurethral incision of a ureterocele in children under ultrasound control
Introduction Transurethral incision (TUI) is a popular method of treatment used in children with ureteroceles. The procedure can be difficult because of dimensions, localization and thickness of a ureterocele as well as its relation to other ureteral orifices. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of ultrasound guidance for incision of a ureterocele and decompression of th...
متن کاملA Prolapsed Cecoureterocele in an Adult Treated Conservatively: Highly Rare, but Existent
Ectopic ureteroceles are one of the most common human urinary tract anomalies. They tend to be recognized and treated in early childhood, especially when they have prolapsed. In most cases surgical therapy is inevitable.
