    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Malformations

    Background:

    • Triplication of ureters is an exceedingly rare congenital anomaly of the upper urinary tract.
    • This condition often presents with recurrent urinary tract infections.
    • Obstructed megaureters within a triplicate system represent a more unusual variant.

    Observation:

    • This case report details a young girl diagnosed with trifid obstructed megaureter.
    • The patient presented with a complex upper urinary tract malformation.

    Findings:

    • The presented case involves a rare instance of trifid obstructed megaureter.
    • Obstruction in a triplicate ureter system is documented as exceptionally uncommon in medical literature.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering rare congenital anomalies in pediatric urology.
    • Underscores the need for early diagnosis and management of complex urinary tract malformations.
    • Contributes to the limited case data available for trifid obstructed megaureter, aiding future research.
