ABSTRACT
Duplication is the most common type of congenital anomaly of the ureter. It occurs more frequently in females and it is often accompanied by an ectopic orifice. Ectopic ureter is usually derived from the upper pole of the ipsilateral kidney and its orifice is attached medial & inferior from the normal opening according to Weigert-Meyer's law. Thus, sometimes the ectopic ureteral opening is made at a distal part of the external sphincter or even out of the urinary system. These conditions may result in urinary incontinence in female patients, so they can be treated early at the mean age of 5 and it's not common that ectopic ureter accompanying complete duplication of the ureter is presented in adults. We report here on a case of ectopic ureter accompanying complete duplication of the ureter in a 44 year old female who presented with leukorrhea.
