“…Finkel and Gosalbez reported ureteroceles associated with type I and rarely with type II ureteral triplications [3,4]. In recent review of the literature, Pode [7] and Merlini [6] reported ureteral triplication cases associated with obstruction; however, in the case reported by Merlini et al obstruction was caused by ureteroureteric reflux, while the other one was due to uretero-vesical stenosis [6,7].…”

“…La anomalía más frecuentemente asociada a la triplicidad ureteral es la duplicidad contralateral (37%) [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] , la ectopia ureteral (28%) 14,15,[18][19][20][21] o la displasia renal 9,22,23 y ocasionalmente puede estar asociada con síndromes polimalformativos [24][25][26] . La existencia de ureterocele o uréter ectópico está bien documentado en la duplicidad ureteral y de igual forma sucede en la triplicidad 9, 17,23,[27][28][29][30] , especialmente aquél último, lo que traduce su frecuente asociación con el reflujo vesicoureteral 11,12,17,23,29,[31][32][33] y la obstrucción 22,33 .…”

L a existencia de tres uréteres en un mismo lado drenando una única unidad renal resulta una hallazgo extremadamente raro, con menos de 100 casos recogidos en la literatura. Esta anomalía se encuentra, por norma, asociada a otras diversas alteraciones congénitas, responsables en la mayor parte de los casos de manifestaciones clínicas precoces (infección, dolor, incontinencia...). No obstante, la triplicidad ureteral ha sido descrita también en pacientes de mayor edad como hallazgo fortuito en estudios por procesos no relacionados. La coincidencia de ambas circunstancias (ausencia de otras anomalías asociadas y curso asintomático) representa una verdadera curiosidad. RESUMEN TRIPLICIDAD URETERAL. UNA INUSUAL PRESENTACIÓN AISLADA Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 26 años que presenta como hallazgo casual una triplicidad ureteral derecha (probablemente tipo I de Campbell), sin ninguna otra alteración asociada. Pese a que la duplicidad ureteral es una alteración urológica frecuente, la existencia de tres uréteres en un mismo lado, ya sea de forma completa o incompleta, representa una verdadera rareza, con menos de cien casos recogidos en la literatura. El presente caso resulta singular no sólo por lo excepcional de esta entidad, sino por no encontrarse asociado a ninguna otra alteración urológica o extraurológica ni presentar manifestación clínica alguna. Se realiza una revisión y actualización de esta entidad.

“…In the context of complete duplication, the affected kidney is typically divided into two moieties (upper and lower) that are anatomically and functionally grouped to drain into a single collecting system and ureter; each ureter has a separate ureteric insertion (41) (Fig 12). Triplication and even quadruplication of the upper urinary tract can also occur (42).…”

Magnetic resonance (MR) urography is a valuable imaging modality for assessing disorders of the pediatric urinary tract. It allows comprehensive evaluation of the kidneys and urinary tract in children by providing both morphologic and functional information without exposing the child to ionizing radiation. Pediatric MR urography can be used to thoroughly evaluate renal and urinary tract abnormalities that are difficult to identify or fully characterize with other imaging techniques, and it has the potential to allow earlier diagnosis while decreasing the number of imaging studies performed. Common indications for pediatric MR urography include evaluation of complex renal and urinary tract anatomy, suspected urinary tract obstruction, operative planning, and postoperative assessment. MR hydrography (T2-weighted imaging of urine) excellently depicts dilated or obstructed urinary systems, whereas postcontrast imaging (gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted imaging of the kidneys and urinary system) excellently depicts nondilated or nonobstructed urinary systems. Postcontrast MR urography also allows a functional evaluation of the kidneys and urinary tract that includes estimation of differential renal function. The authors review common indications for pediatric MR urography, detail MR urography techniques, compare the strengths and weaknesses of MR urography with those of alternative imaging strategies for children, and describe numerous common and uncommon abnormalities of the pediatric kidneys and urinary tract.

Ureteral triplication with a ureterocele

Abstract: Ureteral triplication is a rare anomaly of the upper urinary tract. The occurrence of complete ureteral triplication with an associated ureterocele has only been reported once before. A case of this extremely rare association is described, and the embryology of this condition is discussed.
