Background : Static fluid Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) treats the urinary tract as a static column of fluid, using one of a variety of T2-weighted sequences that exploit the long T2 relaxation time of urine. It does not require the excretion of contrast material and is therefore useful for demonstrating the collecting system and ureter of an obstructed urinary tract. Static fluid MRU provides good morphology visualization and multiplanar three-dimensional reconstruction capability. Aim of study : To display the excellence of static fluid MRU in visualization of dilatated urinary tract segments in pediatric cases with suspectedurinary obstruction. Methods : Nine pediatric patients with suspected obstructive uropathy (as suggested by ultrasound) were included in this case study. The examinations were performed with 1.5T MR scanners using static fluid T2-weighted MRU sequence. Ultrasound examinations were done forall patients. Voiding cystourethrogram was done for 3 patients. Results : Eight studied patients had dilated collecting systems. Static fluid MRU can provide detailed structural assessment of dilatatedcollecting systems. It was superior to ultrasound in evaluation of obstructive double collecting system, ureteral ectopia, ureteral obstructionand massive hydroureteronephrosis.

Renal duplication accompanied by ureteral ectopia is an uncommon urinary congenital abnormality. We report the case of a 21-year-old girl who suffered from lifelong continuous urinary leakage. She was finally diagnosed with bilateral duplicated collecting systems complicated with right ectopic ureteral orifice – an extremely rare case. The patient underwent ureteric re-implantation for the ectopic side, and her urinary incontinence ceased soon thereafter. In this case, traditional imaging failed to show the exact insertion of an ectopic ureter. However, magnetic resonance urography combined with retrograde intubation radiography successfully depicted the point of ureteric insertion, which may make the diagnostic process accurate and efficient.
