[Renal agenesis, cranial blind ureter and ureterocele. Report of a case].

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:

We report a case of associated malformations in a young male with recurrent epididymitis.

METHODS:

In our study we used the following techniques: ultrasound, intravenous urography, retrograde pyelography, computed tomography and cystoscopy.

RESULTS:

We observed three coexisting congenital malformations: renal agenesis, cranial blind-ending ureter and ureterocele.

CONCLUSIONS:

Different urologic malformations are usually found in association. In our view only symptomatic ureteroceles require treatment.
