Highlights
A 27-year-old, gravida 0 para 0, female presented herself for an evaluation of recurrent urinary tract infections and severe dysmenorrhea
Double collecting systems are thought to result from duplication of the ureteric bud, with the superior bud associated with the upper renal pole, and the inferior bud with the lower renal pole
Ectopic insertion of the ureter can result in obstruction or vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) [4]
