This study discusses three young girls with urinary incontinence caused by a single ectopic ureter draining into the vagina. Surgical intervention successfully cured incontinence in all cases.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Female Genitourinary Tract Anatomy

Background:

  • Urinary incontinence in young girls can stem from congenital anomalies.
  • Ectopic ureters, particularly those draining into the vagina, present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • Three cases are presented involving girls aged 3-5 years with unilateral ectopic ureters.
  • All patients exhibited symptoms of urinary incontinence.
  • Vaginoscopy revealed varied presentations of the ectopic ureteral orifice within the vaginal mucosa.

Findings:

  • Surgical treatment, including nephroureterectomy and ureteral reimplantation, was performed.
  • Complete resolution of urinary incontinence was achieved in all three patients post-surgery.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical correction of ectopic ureters are crucial for managing urinary incontinence in pediatric patients.
  • Vaginoscopy is an effective diagnostic tool for visualizing ectopic ureteral orifices.
