We report a case of uncrossed complete ureteral duplication with the orifice of the upper system ureter opening in the cranial and lateral positionin the bladder. There was reflux only to the upper system of the duplex kidney and the orifice of the lower system ureter in caudal position was associated with a ureterocele, and the lower pole system was large and non-functioning. The patient was treated successfully by lower pole heminephrectomy and ureterectomy.
