OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to study the role of magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in single-system ureteral ectopia with congenital renal dysplasia in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients of incontinence with an otherwise normal voiding pattern were investigated by MRU and conventional radiology. All the patients underwent laparoscopic nephroureterectomy after MRU. RESULTS: Magnetic resonance urography picked up the dysplastic moieties and their location as well as functional status and also depicted the course of the ectopic ureter in all the 7 patients. CONCLUSION: Magnetic resonance urography is the better method of investigation for the diagnosis of this condition than conventional radiologic investigations and renal scan.
