Nonvisualizing upper pole segments in duplex ureters should be suspected with contralateral duplication, irrespective of imaging findings. This aids in diagnosing these urinary tract anomalies.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Radiology
  • Pediatric Medicine

Background:

  • Duplex ureters are a common congenital anomaly of the upper urinary tract.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging, especially in cases with nonvisualizing upper pole segments.
  • Radiographic appearance may not always be indicative of the anomaly.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present three cases of unsuspected duplex ureters.
  • To highlight the importance of suspecting nonvisualizing upper pole segments in specific scenarios.
  • To improve the diagnostic accuracy of duplex ureters.

Main Methods:

  • Case series presentation.
  • Review of radiographic findings.
  • Clinical correlation.

Main Results:

  • Three cases of duplex ureters were identified incidentally.
  • In these cases, upper pole segments were not visualized on initial imaging.
  • Contralateral duplication was a consistent feature.

Conclusions:

  • Suspect nonvisualizing upper pole segments in duplex ureters when contralateral duplication is present.
  • Radiographic appearance alone should not exclude the possibility of duplex ureters.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.
