A ureter that opens at a site distal to the posterolateral aspect of the trigone is known as ectopic ureter. Commonly with complete duplication, upper moiety ureter can be ectopic. A 7-year-old boy presented with dull pain in right flank with repeated episodes of urinary tract infection. Clinically, no abnormality was detected. Ultrasonography revealed right gross hydronephrosis with hydroureter up to ureterovesical junction. Micturating cystourethrogram suggested grade V reflux in both ureters of complete duplication. Right kidney had 20% split function (glomerular filtration rate: 18 mL/minute). Cystoscopy revealed both the ureteric orifice in small prostatic urethral diverticulum. Common sheath ureteric reimplantation was done by Politano-Leadbetter technique. Ectopic ureteral orifice is not uncommon, especially with complete duplication. But complete duplication opening in ectopic position (prostatic urethra) with high grade reflux in both the ureters is extremely uncommon entity. No similar case report could be seen in available literature, making this a unique case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
