Unilateral triplicate ureter with ipsilateral ureterocele a case report

Triplicate ureter is a rare congenital anomaly of the upper urinary tract.

In this case we present a triplicate ureter with ipsilateral ureterocele in a 9 years old boy. After literature review we found out this presentation very rare.

Ureteral triplication classified by Smith into 4 subtypes, and usually associated with other congenital abnormality, most common one is contralateral ureteric duplication. Usually this anomaly is asymptomatic. We present a type 3 ureteral triplication.

Although triplicate ureter is a rare congenital anomaly, we must keep it in our differential diagnosis of unexplained urinary symptoms.
