“…The ampulla of the ureteral bud induces the formation of nephrons. Hulett and Ozgur [3] postulated that there was also distal ureteral atresia due to an ischemic event, resulting in the distal blind ending (Fig. The embryogenesis of blind-ending ureteral duplication is similar to that for duplications in general.…”

“…2 Fluid in the ectopic ureter may have come from ureteral vasculature with water transported across the ureteral urothelium (water secretion). A possible explanation is that a long duration of time was needed for fluid to accumulate in the doubleYblind ending ectopic ureter, resulting in sufficient dilation of the ectopic ureter to cause lower urinary tract and prolapse symptoms.…”

The differential diagnoses for anterior wall vaginal prolapse (AWVP) include cystocele, enterocele, urethral diverticulum, and Gartner duct cyst. We present a case of a patient with a known solitary right kidney (congenital absence of a left kidney) presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms, absence of urinary incontinence, and feeling of bulge in the vagina. Physical examination revealed grade II AWVP. Because congenital solitary kidney can be associated with other possible genitourinary abnormalities, a pelvic magnetic resonance imaging was obtained. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a tubular structure spanning the left retroperitoneum to the region of the AWVP. Urodynamics revealed an obstructive voiding pattern during pressure-flow phase. The combination of transvaginal and transabdominal surgical excision of the tubular structure resolved the patient's lower urinary tract and prolapse symptoms. Anatomically, her AWVP was corrected. Histopathologic examination of the tubular structure revealed presence of urothelium lining the lumen of the tubular structure consistent with a ureter. This case represents the rare situation in which an ectopic ureter presented as an AWVP. However, patients with congenital solitary kidney presenting with vaginal prolapse should raise the suspicion for other associated genitourinary anomalies, whether these anomalies are related to the prolapse or not. Cross-sectional imaging should be performed in these situations to delineate precise anatomy.

“…1,2 This congenital anomaly often goes unnoticed because patients are either asymptomatic or complain of vague abdominal or chronic flank pain. 2,3 Also the anomaly is often missed by the radiologist because presence of a normal collecting system is assumed if uncustomized imaging modalities are used such as standard intravenous urography (IVU) or ultrasound (US).…”

US and MDCT Findings in a Caudal Blind Ending Bifid Ureter with Calculi

Herein we present a rare ureteric duplication anomaly; blind ending bifid ureter with calculi which is asymptomatic unless complicated by infection, reflux, calculi or malignancy. The diagnosis is often missed at intravenous urography (IVU) and US because the ipsilateral ureter and kidney are grossly normal. In this case the diagnosis was established with ultrasound (US) and mainly with multidetector computerized tomography (MDCT) imaging using multiplanar reformats and 3-D reconstructions which were unique to this case. MDCT scans not only revealed the exact diagnosis and anatomic relationships but also ruled out other pathologies included in the differential diagnosis as well, such as ureter and bladder diverticula.
