Bifid blind-ending ureter

R E Brennan, S Smith

    Journal of the Canadian Association of Radiologists
    |June 1, 1982

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Bifid blind-ending ureter, a rare condition, was diagnosed in six patients using excretory urography. Characteristic imaging findings, including a bulbous tip, confirmed the diagnosis and eliminated the need for further invasive procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Bifid blind-ending ureter is a rare congenital anomaly.
    • Diagnosis often relies on advanced imaging techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present cases of bifid blind-ending ureter diagnosed via excretory urography.
    • To highlight characteristic imaging findings.
    • To assess the diagnostic utility of excretory urography.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of six patients diagnosed with bifid blind-ending ureter.
    • Analysis of excretory urography findings.

    Main Results:

    • Excretory urography revealed a characteristic elongated, contrast-filled tubular structure with a bulbous proximal tip in all six patients.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The blind ureter was an incidental finding in four of the six patients.
  • The imaging findings confirmed complete opacification of the blind ureter.

    • Conclusions:

    • Excretory urography is effective in diagnosing bifid blind-ending ureter.
    • Characteristic imaging features, particularly the bulbous tip, are crucial for diagnosis.
    • This non-invasive method obviates the need for retrograde pyelography.
