Ultrasonography is the main non-invasive technique for screening of ureterocele, but presents some difficulties for its diagnosis. Other supplementary diagnostic methods have the disadvantage of being invasive or using ionizing radiation. Magnetic resonance (MR) has a high sensitivity for diagnosing urinary tract malformations in adults and children. We report one case of ureterocele in a 1-yea...

A ureterocele is a congenital defect of the ureter. Based on available autopsy reports, the highest incidence of ureteroceles has been reported as 1 in 500, occurring four to six times more commonly in females than in males. It can occur in up to 95% of females with a duplex collecting system (1, 2). Ureteroceles in adults usually arise within a single renal system with no or mild obstruction. ...

An ectopic ureterocele is commonly associated with the ectopically inserted ureter of a duplicated collecting system and more common in female fetuses.1Kang A.H. Bruner J.P.

Iran J Med Sci March 2017; Vol 42 No 2 221 Dear Editor, A 46-year-old woman presented to the Urology Clinic, Department of Urology, Hitit University Çorum Training and Research Hospital, Çorum, Turkey, with right-flank pain of 4 months’ duration. The patient’s medical history was unremarkable. Plain radiography of the kidney, ureter, and bladder demonstrated ureteral stones in the right distal ...

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, voi...

This is a report of a rare case of intravesical and unilateral ureterocele in a young man (25 years old) with ipsilateral kidney agenesia. He was referred to our urology clinic with frequent retention. Ultimate diagnosis made by US, IVP and CT Scan. This ureterocele operated via cystostomy.

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the most common anomaly associated with duplex systems. In addition to an uncomplicated duplex system, reflux can also be secondary in the presence of an ectopic ureterocele with duplex systems. Controversy exists in regard to the initial and most definitive management of these anomalies when they coexist. This paper will highlight what is currently known about du...
