Ectopic duplex ureter, a condition causing urinary incontinence in females, was documented for the first time in a male subject. This case report details a boy experiencing incontinence due to this rare ureteral anomaly.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Urology
  • Anatomical Abnormalities

Background:

  • Ectopic ureters are congenital anomalies where the ureter does not insert at the normal anatomical location within the urinary bladder.
  • Duplex ureters involve the presence of two ureters originating from a single kidney.
  • While ectopic duplex ureters are a known cause of urinary incontinence in females, their occurrence in males is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • The study presents a case of a young male patient experiencing symptoms of urinary incontinence.
  • Clinical evaluation revealed the presence of an ectopic duplex ureter as the underlying cause.
  • This represents a novel documented instance of this condition in a male subject.

Findings:

  • The patient's urinary incontinence was directly attributed to the anatomical abnormality of an ectopic duplex ureter.

  • This finding expands the known clinical spectrum of ectopic duplex ureters.
  • The successful diagnosis and management of this rare condition in a pediatric male are highlighted.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering ectopic duplex ureters in the differential diagnosis of urinary incontinence in male children.
    • It suggests that this anomaly, previously considered primarily a female condition, can also affect males.
    • Further investigation into the prevalence and clinical presentation of ectopic duplex ureters in males may be warranted.
