Ureteral ectopia in infants and children

Ectopic ureter is a rare and obscure condition that affects both sexes. During the last decade we treated three children, all females, among 1,720 patients with urological disorders. They presented with dribbling and urinary tract infections. The ectopic ureter was draining a single pyelocalyceal system in two cases and the upper pole of a duplex kidney in the third. All patients were successfully operated upon and did well.
