Info
An ectopic ureter is identified and inserted into the posterior urethra. Associated grade III vesico-ureteric reflux is also noted.
Case Discussion
Ectopic ureter results from failure of separation of the ureteral bud from wolfian duct leading to caudal migration. Females are more affected and symptomatic as the ureter inserts distal to the external sphincter while males are asymptomatic. The more distal the ureter is inserted the worse the prognosis.
