G R MacDonald

    The Journal of Urology
    |June 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Ectopic ureters in males, often terminating in the seminal vesicles, present with lower urinary tract symptoms and epididymitis. Diagnosis involves imaging, and treatment strategies are discussed for this rare condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pediatric Urology
    • Embryology

    Background:

    • Ectopic ureters are congenital anomalies where the ureter does not enter the bladder normally.
    • While more common in females, ectopic ureters in males have distinct anatomical terminations and clinical presentations.

    Observation:

    • Male ectopic ureters typically terminate proximal to the external sphincter, often in the vas deferens or seminal vesicle.
    • Associated findings include a dysplastic, non-duplicated kidney and lower urinary tract symptoms.
    • Clinical presentation may include epididymitis and a palpable periprostatic mass.

    Findings:

    • Ipsilateral nonvisualization on excretory urography is a key diagnostic finding.
    • The condition is characterized by specific embryological origins and pathogenic pathways.

  • Four illustrative cases highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

    • Implications:

    • Understanding the embryology and pathogenesis is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate management can prevent complications like infection and infertility.
    • This study provides insights into the diagnosis and treatment of ectopic ureters in male patients.
