Abstract

Abstract The bilateral duplex system is extremely uncommon, and only a few cases have been documented in the literature. It may manifest as a bifid renal pelvis and partial or complete ureteric duplication, with or without ectopic insertion of the ureter. An ectopic ureter is more problematic when there is significant vesicoureteral reflux, incontinence, and/or blockage. The optimal course of treatment is considered to be ureteral reimplantation rather than heminephrectomy. We describe the management strategy for a case of bilateral duplex kidneys with bilateral ectopic ureters in a growing female child.
