Abstract:
We report one case of ureteral triplication associated with ipsilateral vesicoureteral reflux and the relevant literatures are reviewed. A 26-year-old female was referred to our hospital with a history of fever, chilling and recurrent left flank pain. Referral was prompted by documentation of urinary tract infection. Intravenous pyelogram showed 3 ureters, which were drained into bladder separately and cystoscopy revealed only two ureteral orifices in left side. It can be classified as type I according to Smith's classification. Vesicoureteral reflux (Grade I) was found on voiding cystourethrogram.
