Abstract:
Megaureter-megacystis association describes the radiographic appearance of the large capacity, thin-walled bladder and massive primary vesicoureteral reflux. The pathophysiology of these massively dilated ureters and the bladder with large capacity bases on the constant recycling of large volumes of a refluxed urine. We report a case of megaureter-megacystis in 5-year-old girl who had large residual urine(750 ml) with massive ureteral reflux. After removal of left non-functional kidney and dilated ureter, she has gained normal bladder capacity.
