Ureteral Triplication With Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction Type Of Article: Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ureteral triplication is one of the rarest malformations of the upper urinary tract. The association of ureteral triplication and obstruction is even rarer. We report a rare case of ureteral triplication with hydronephrosis due to ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction and stenosis at the upper pole ureter. To the best of our knowledge, this is only second such case reported in literature. The child underwent excision of the obstructed segment with a side to side pyeloureterostomy. We salvaged the kidney and the patient is well 20 months postoperatively with no urinary infection and stable renal function. The embryology and management of this rare case along with review of literature is discussed herewith.

Distal ureteral atresia with ureteropelvic junction obstruction in a female child: a rare case.
This case report describes a distal ureteral atresia along with ureteropelvic junction obstruction which occurred in a 19-month-old female child. It is easily to be misdiagnosed as mere ureteropelvic junction obstruction and omitted the combined diagnosis of distal ureteral atresia. Dismembered pyeloplasty was done in local hospital after admission, however with the result of recurrent fever wh...
متن کاملUreteral fibroepithelial polyp causing urinary obstruction.
Ureteral polyps are rare causes of ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, particularly in children. We report a nine year-old boy with UPJ obstruction initially suggestive of an obstructive urinary stone. CT showed intraureteral calcification at the UPJ and hydronephrosis. A retrograde pyelogram showed narrowing at the UPJ and partial obstruction that was found to be a ureteral polyp. This c...
متن کاملUreteral fibroepithelial polyp associated with ureteropelvic junction obstruction in a child.
Ureteral fibroepithelial polyp is an unusual benign tumor of a mesodermal origin. It is very rare in infants and children, and the majority of them, excluding ones secondary to chronic irritation, were presented as a single disease without associated lesion. We report a case of multiple ureteral fibroepithelial polyps associated with ureteropelvic junction obstruction in a 5 year-old boy.
متن کاملPelvioureteric junction obstruction of the lower collecting system associated with incomplete ureteral duplication: A case report
In cases with incomplete ureteric duplication, lower pole ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) may occur as an unusual entity. Surgical reconstruction of UPJO can be with different techniques such as pyeloplasty, pyeloureterostomy or ureteroureterostomy. In our case, the connecting segment distal to the pelvioureteric junction was found short and we performed direct pyeloureteral side-to-s...

Bilateral ureteral triplication is rare than bilateral ureteral duplication. Only 5 cases of bilateral ureteral triplication have been reported so far in medical literature [3]. Furthermore, ureteral triplication is occas...
