Patient Data

Age: 4 years
Gender: Female
ultrasound

Bilateral marked cystic outpouchings at the left and right ureteral orifice, in keeping with bilateral ureterocele associated with significant distal ureteric dilatation.

Case Discussion

Ureteroceles represent abnormal congenital dilatation of the distal-most portion of the ureter. The dilated portion of the ureter may herniate into the bladder secondary to the abnormal structure of vesicoureteric junction (VUJ) 1.

Unfortunately, further clinical or imaging follow-up is not available for this case.
