Abstract
A 51-year-old man was admitted on April, 18, 1972, to our hospital to comfirm the diagnosis of calculi in the left ureter. A plain X-ray film showed 4 calculi in the left side of the pelvis. An excretory urogram showed normal function of both kidneys and of the right ureter. The left ureter appeared Y-shaped. However, a retrograde urogram showed clearly that the left ureter was an h-shaped blindending ureter with calculi. An operation was performed under general anesthaesia. The bifurcation was found just below the iliac vessels. The abnormal ureter, which almost reached to the seminal vesicle behind the bladder, was separated from the surrounding tissues, and was removed with calculi inside. No kidney tissues were demostrated near the blindending ureter either by gross or by histologic examinations. Such a blindending bifid ureter with stones in h-shape seems to be extremly rare.
