    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Prolapsing ectopic ureterocele, a rare condition in boys with duplex kidneys, can cause significant urinary obstruction. Accurate diagnosis via cystourethrography is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis as posterior urethral valves.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Ectopic ureteroceles can cause urinary tract obstruction in children.
    • Duplex kidney systems are associated with ureteral anomalies.

    Observation:

    • Five pediatric cases of prolapsing ectopic ureterocele were identified.
    • All patients were male and presented with duplex kidneys, often bilateral.
    • Significant obstructive uropathy was a consistent finding.

    Findings:

    • Prolapsing ectopic ureterocele can be challenging to diagnose.
    • Misdiagnosis as posterior urethral valves is a common pitfall.
    • Cystourethrography is essential for accurate diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis of prolapsing ectopic ureterocele is vital for appropriate management.
