Abstract
Continuous urinary leakage, along with normal deliberate voiding, must suggest diagnosis of ectopic ureter, specifically in girls. Combination of a duplicated collecting system with distal, infra-sphincteric, vaginal insertion of ureter is an uncommon congenital anomaly and rare cause of urinary incontinence. We present a case report of a 7-year-old girl who presented to the urology department with urinary incontinence despite successful toilet training and history of recurrent urinary tract infections. Right duplex collecting system was seen on ultrasound. Magnetic resonance urography revealed a near complete right duplex collecting system with ectopic insertion of ureter into vagina, and aplastic uterus with bilateral normal ovaries suggestive of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome. Surgical treatment consisted of "common sheath" reimplantation of ectopic ureters into bladder, with complete resolution of symptoms. This case suggests to us that congenital abnormalities of the genitourinary tract should be considered in case of urinary incontinence and recurrent urinary tract infections.Entities:
