The non-obstructive ectopic ureterocele.

S B Bauer, A B Retik

    The Journal of Urology
    |June 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study identifies a rare non-obstructive ectopic ureterocele in children, often missed due to absent upper pole obstruction signs. Surgical treatment involves ureterocele excision and reimplantation, preserving renal function.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Congenital Anomalies
    • Renal Development

    Background:

    • Ectopic ureteroceles can present atypically in children.
    • Non-obstructive forms may lack classic signs of renal duplication.
    • Diagnosis can be challenging due to subtle radiographic findings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical presentation and management of non-obstructive ectopic ureteroceles.
    • To highlight diagnostic challenges in pediatric renal anomalies.
    • To discuss the embryological basis of this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series of 5 children with non-obstructive ectopic ureteroceles.
    • Diagnostic confirmation via cystoscopy and retrograde ureterocele injection.
    • Surgical intervention including ureterocele excision and ureteral reimplantation.

    Main Results:

    • All patients presented with non-obstructive ectopic ureteroceles and undilated upper pole systems.
    • Cystoscopy revealed narrow ureters and small, dysplastic kidneys.
    • 86% of cases exhibited ipsilateral lower pole ureteral reflux.
    • Surgical treatment was successful, with upper renal segment removal often unnecessary.

    Conclusions:

    • Non-obstructive ectopic ureteroceles represent a distinct entity in pediatric urology.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical management are crucial.
    • Understanding the embryology aids in recognizing and treating this anomaly.
