Abstract
Developmental variation is frequently observed during anatomical study. Some variations remain asymptomatic and do not interfere with normal function but others may have significant clinical consequences. Developmental anomalies of the renal excretory system are not uncommon. Knowledge of the variation in ureteral development is essential in determining the management strategies of urogenital disorders. Partial or complete duplication of the ureter may result from early splitting of the ureteric bud or the presence of a second ureteric bud. Here we report a case of congenital anomaly in the ureterorenal system where complete bilateral ureteral duplication was found in a female cadaver donor. Both sets of ureters entered the urinary bladder enclosed in a common fascial sheath but opened separately into the trigone of the bladder. In this case, no evident renal pathology was observed. There was no sign of renal cysts, hydronephrosis or calculus in either kidney. This case highlights the importance of learning morphological variations to students of health science.
