Abstract |
We report a case of single system ectopic ureters that developed in siblings. The
elder sister had continuous urinary incontinence after toilet training. She had a left dysplastic
kidney and a left ectopic ureter which terminated in the vagina. The younger brother presented
with febrile urinary tract infection. A small cystic kidney and an ectopic ureter on the left side
were detected incidentally. His left ureteral orifice was found in the posterior urethra. The two
children underwent nephroureterectomy and the surgical specimens showed renal dysplasia. |
