The single ectopic ureter and the dysplastic kidney

J E Scott

    British Journal of Urology
    |August 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study describes eight children with ectopic ureters originating from non-concentrating kidneys. Diagnosis involves recognizing non-concentrating kidneys and interpreting cystourethrograms, with treatment typically being nephroureterectomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Ectopic ureters, often arising from non-concentrating kidneys, present unique diagnostic challenges in children.
    • Symptoms vary widely, including persistent wetting, abdominal distension, urinary infections, and chronic urinary retention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and treatment of pediatric ectopic ureters associated with non-concentrating kidneys.
    • To highlight key diagnostic indicators and management strategies for this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of eight pediatric cases with single ectopic ureters and non-concentrating kidneys.
    • Diagnostic techniques included intravenous urography, cystourethrography, and endoscopic examination of the urethra/vagina.
    • Identification of ureteric orifices and associated anomalies like extravesical ureteroceles.

    Main Results:

    • Diverse presentations observed, including persistent wetting in girls and abdominal distension in neonates.
    • Intravenous urography revealing non-concentrating kidneys was a key diagnostic clue.
    • Cystourethrography and endoscopic evaluations were crucial for identifying the ectopic ureteric orifice, especially in boys with genital tract involvement.

    Conclusions:

    • Ectopic ureters associated with non-concentrating kidneys require a high index of suspicion for diagnosis.
    • A combination of imaging and endoscopic procedures is essential for accurate identification.
    • Nephroureterectomy remains the primary treatment modality for this condition.
