Bilateral Single System Ectopic Ureters With Vaginal Insertion in a Female Child, A Rare Variant

Abstract

In most cases an ectopic ureter is associated with a duplicated renal collecting system while in only a few single systems is found. Bilateral single system ureteral ectopia is even rarer. A 9-year-old girl presented with urinary incontinence. Investigations pointed towards bilateral single system ectopic ureters with ectopic openings into vagina with a hypoplastic bladder. The left ureteric system was tortuous with malrotated and hypoplastic left kidney. A 4×2 cm hard calculus was found in the vagina. Right Ureteric reimplantation with left to right uretero-ureterostomy was done with satisfactory postoperative day time continence at 6 months without the need for bladder reconstruction or urinary diversion.
