[An unusual appearance of ureteric bilharzia (author's transl)]

The authors report a case of bilharzia localised to one of the ureters in a case of double renal pelvis and ureter. The parasitic infection was identified only at the time of exploratory surgery (laboratory investigations and preoperative endoscopy negative). The "providential" double ureter made it possible to combine excision of the pathological ureter with a termino-lateral anastomosis between the lower renal pelvis and the ureter of the upper renal pelvis. The result remains very satisfactory with a follow-up of 13 months.
