Abstract
The anomalies associated to the duplications of ureter and kidneys result from an early division of ureteric diverticulum. Duplex collecting system is presence of two pylocaliceal system which is associated with single or double ureter. Bifid ureter is one of the variations related to congenital anomalies of urinary system which are often an incidental finding. Surgeons performing surgeries in pelvic region should be aware of such anomalies remain asymptomatic, incidentally found, sometimes present with pyelonephritis / calculi.Med Phoenix.

Highlights
Ureter is a long tubular structure extending from renal pelvis to urinary bladder measuring 2530 cm. superiorly it is continuous with funnel shaped structure called renal pelvis through which it communicates with secreting part of kidney
CASE REPORT Here, we present a case with a unilateral bifid ureter at left side

Summary
Ureter is a long tubular structure extending from renal pelvis to urinary bladder measuring 2530 cm. superiorly it is continuous with funnel shaped structure called renal pelvis through which it communicates with secreting part of kidney. Superiorly it is continuous with funnel shaped structure called renal pelvis through which it communicates with secreting part of kidney It opens into the lateral angle of the base of the urinary bladder. Cases of Familial double or bifid ureters have been reported in the past even though it is a rare occurrence It is an autosomal dominant condition.[1] The occurrence of incomplete duplication is three times more common than complete duplication, with a frequency of one in 500 individuals.[2] The present report is a case of unilateral incomplete double ureter of the left side with Calculus at left vesico-ureteric junction. CASE REPORT Here, we present a case with a unilateral bifid ureter at left side. In our case it was only things we found is duplex incomplete collecting system
