چکیده
Ureteroceles may present both diagnostic and treatment challenges, particularly among paediatric urologists. The diagnosis of ureterocele may be obvious, but at times it is less clear and is then only diagnosed with a high index of suspicion. The management of ureterocele varies according to its effects on obstruction, reflux, continence and renal function. Therefore, it is imperative for the urologist to be aware of the variable clinical and radiological presentations and treatment options of ureterocele to yield the best possible results. We discuss ureteroceles and address areas of confusion and controversy.
