Abstract:
We experienced a case of duplicated ureters with the ectopic ureter opening into the vaginal vestibule in a 8-year-old girl. She presented with symptoms of almost continuous dripping of urine from the vagina which started from her infancy. She did have her voluntary control of voiding through her normal urethra. The management of ectopic ureter in the duplicated system depends on the renal function, presence of vesicoureteral reflux, and renal dysplasia. We were able to preserve the function of the entire renal parenchyma in this patient by pyeloureterostomy.
