Resection of Blind Ending Bifid Ureter in a Patient with Grade V Vesicoureteric Reflux

Abstract

Blind-ending bifid ureter is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. The authors report on a 13-year-old boy who presented with a previous diagnosis of right duplicated ureter and who had undergone a bilateral ureteroneocystos-tomy for vesicoureteral reflux in another clinic. The revision showed right blind-ending bifid ureter. The embryology, clinic and treatment of this anomaly is discussed.

Key words:

• Bifid ureter
• children.
