Ectopic ureterocele

The article discusses a case of 4-year-old patient with a bilateral obstructive megaureter of a non-functioning left kidney and with the opening of this kidney ureter into the urethra with extravasal location of a giant ureterocele. The malformation of the urinary system was accompanied by a comorbid disease of bronchopulmonary system in the form of tuberculosis of the lungs and intra-thoracic lymph nodes. At the age of one month, due to decompensation of the only functioning right kidney, urine was withdrawn by applying a ureterostomy. Later, a proximal lateral cutaneous ureterostomy was put because of social reasons (mother refused of her baby). In two months, the next step was performed - a ureterocystoneostomy by the Cohen’s antireflux technique. After a long-term treatment for tuberculosis in clinics of Tver and St. Petersburg, at the age of 4, the girl was operated on at the first surgical department at St-Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University. Laparoscopic nephroureterectomy on the left with conversion to lower-middle laparotomy and resection of the terminal part of the left ureter with a giant ectopic ureterocele as well as closure of the ureterocutaneostomy on the right were performed. After stabilization, the child was transferred to a children’s boarding school in Tver, and currently is supervised by pediatric urologists and TB specialists.

Urinary Tract Anomalies

Ectopic ureteroceles are one of the most common human urinary tract anomalies. They tend to be recognized and treated in early childhood, especially when they have prolapsed. In most cases surgical therapy is inevitable. In this case report, however, we present the unusual case of a 26-year-old woman suffering from a prolapsed cecoureterocele without any known history of an ectopic ureterocele so far. She was successfully treated without the need for a surgical procedure.

The diagnosis and treatment of ureteroceles continue to evolve. Not only are the majority of patients diagnosed prenatally, but a significant proportion of cases can be dealt with in a minimally invasive, endoscopic fashion. Although a single treatment strategy for all ureteroceles is an unrealistic expectation, more valuable to the practicing urologist is an understanding of the variable anatomy and presentation of this entity and an appreciation for the breadth of treatment options at his or her disposal. This, the first of our two reviews on ureteroceles, provides the necessary background.

A ureterocele is a congenital cystic ballooning of the terminal submucosal ureter. Simple orthotopic ureterocele represents about 30% of all ureteroceles and occurs primarily in adult males. Ectopic ureterocele represents about 70% of all ureteroceles, occuring mainly in female children with a left predominance. Ten per cent are bilateral. From 1970 to 1991 we observed 15 patients (11 females, 4 males) with ureteroceles. We preferred the surgical approach for treating ureteroceles in all patients. Only 1 patient treated in this manner had a subsequent reflux.
