    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This report details the seventh female case of a rare congenital anomaly: a single ectopic ureter draining into the vagina. Phenazopyridine hydrochloride aided in identifying the vaginal opening of this unusual urinary tract abnormality.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pediatric Urology
    • Congenital Anomalies

    Background:

    • Ureteral ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly where the ureter does not enter the bladder normally.
    • While ureteral duplication with ectopia is more common, a single ectopic ureter is exceptionally rare in females.

    Observation:

    • The seventh documented case of a female with a single, unilateral ectopic ureter terminating in the vagina is presented.
    • The affected renal unit was situated in the renal fossa, distinct from pelvic locations seen in other rare cases.
    • Phenazopyridine hydrochloride proved effective as an excretory marker for pinpointing the vaginal orifice.

    Findings:

    • This case represents one of the rarest forms of ureteral ectopia, emphasizing the anomaly's infrequent occurrence.
    • The anatomical location of the ectopic renal unit (renal fossa) adds to the unique presentation of this specific case.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis and localization of single ectopic ureters are crucial for appropriate management and surgical planning.
    • The use of excretory markers like phenazopyridine hydrochloride can significantly aid in the diagnostic process for complex urinary tract anomalies.
    • Further documentation of such rare cases contributes valuable data to understanding the spectrum of ureteral ectopia.
