Ultrasound revealed a dilated distal right ureter and a cystic structure at the bladder trigone, consistent with a ureterocele. Ureteric jet was demonstrated on color Doppler check.
Case Discussion
Ureterocele is a congenital anomaly characterized by a cystic dilation of the distal ureter, leading to a ballooning appearance within the bladder. It can occur in both children and adults, presenting with a variety of symptoms, ranging from asymptomatic to severe complications such as recurrent UTIs, urinary obstruction, and impaired renal function.
Ureterocele presents as a bulbous cystic expansion in the bladder trigone on ultrasound and a cobra head appearance on contrast CT urograms.
