Prenatal and Postnatal Radiological Evaluation of Ectopic Ureterocele

چکیده
Prenatal and postnatal ultrasonography has dramatically increased the number of infants detected with significant asymptomatic uropathology. We report of a fetus with hydronephrosis and dilated ureter, diagnosed insidentally at 25 week of gestation. On assumption of left sided ureteropelvic junction obstruction, postnatal serial diagnostic investigations including abdominal ultrasonography, voiding cystoureterography, and intravenous pyelography were performed. The final diagnosis was ectopic ureterocele. We discussed the usefullness of ultrasonography in the prenatal and postnatal diagnosis and follow-up of urogenital anomalies. Key word: ureterocele, prenatal diagnosis, postnatal diagnosis
