Duplicated ectopic ureter with vaginal insertion: 3D CT urography
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
We present the case of a female child with duplicated ectopic ureter with vaginal insertion. Excretory urography, sonography and voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) had failed in visualization of the anatomic course and insertion of the nonfunctioning ectopic ureter. Percutaneous injection of iodinated contrast medium into the dilated collecting system and IV contrast administration was performed during CT examination of the abdomen and pelvis. Volume-rendered and maximum-intensity-projection reformatted 3D images clearly showed the entire ectopic ureter in various planes. In addition to data about the exact location of the extravesical drainage of the ureter, the study provided information about the anatomic relations between the two ureters and their tortuous intimate course.
