Multiplanar CT study during the excretory phase shows (left side):
- complete duplicated ureters extending down to the bladder
- no signs of ureteroceles on the bladder
- Vesico-ureteric reflux into the distal extremity of ureter draining the lower pole. No excreted contrast into the pyelo-ureteral system of the lower renal pole was seen
- lobulated renal contour with multiple internal cysts areas in the lower renal pole that seems to be a pyelo-ureteral dilatation. This nonfunctioning lower pole mimics a renal mass
Case Discussion
Duplicated collecting system, also referred as duplex collectiong system, is one of the most common congenital renal tract abnormalities.
