    Cyclic voiding cystourethrography reliably detects reflux in girls with ectopic ureters. This improved diagnostic technique is recommended for suspected cases, significantly increasing detection rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Ectopic ureters opening into the urethra in girls are challenging to diagnose.
    • Reflux into these anomalies has historically been difficult to demonstrate, with low detection rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a cyclic filling and voiding cystourethrography technique for reliably demonstrating reflux into urethral ectopic ureters.
    • To improve the diagnostic yield for ectopic ureter anomalies in pediatric patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 12 girls (1 day to 6 years) with suspected ectopic ureters underwent cyclic voiding cystourethrography.
    • The technique involves cyclic filling and voiding during the cystourethrogram procedure.

    Main Results:

    • Reflux into the urethral ectopic ureter was demonstrated in 11 out of 12 girls (92%).

  • This represents a significant improvement compared to previous diagnostic methods.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cyclic voiding cystourethrography is a highly effective method for diagnosing reflux in girls with suspected ectopic ureters.
    • This technique should be considered standard for suspected ectopic ureters, especially when conventional methods show minimal or no reflux.
