    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gynecology
    • Medical Case Studies

    Background:

    • Primary urinary incontinence is a known symptom of ectopic ureter.
    • Late-onset incontinence as the initial presentation of ectopic ureter is uncommon.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on three cases of ectopic ureter presenting with new-onset urinary incontinence in adult women.
    • To highlight the varied etiologies leading to ectopic ureter-related incontinence in adulthood.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of three adult female patients with ectopic ureter presenting with incontinence.
    • Analysis of patient history, focusing on gynecological procedures and labor complications.

    Main Results:

    • Two cases involved ectopic ureterovaginal fistulas secondary to gynecological procedures.
    • One case resulted from a fistula following prolonged labor.
    • All three patients presented with primary urinary incontinence in adulthood.

    Conclusions:

    • Ectopic ureter should be considered in adult women with new-onset urinary incontinence.
    • Gynecological procedures and prolonged labor are potential risk factors for developing ectopic ureter-related fistulas and incontinence in adults.
