Abstract

Urinary system congenital anomalies are more common than other systems. The double collecting system is caused by the emergence of two separate ureter buds from a single Wolff duct or incomplete fusion of the ureter bud with the upper and lower pole parts of the kidney. The opening of the ureter orifice to the bladder neck or to a point other than trigon is called an ectopic ureter. In this case, we report the findings of a 6-year-old girl who complained of continuous urinary incontinence. Our patient had a left-sided double collector system and the ectopic ureter draining the upper pole was opened infra sphincteric to the vaginal vestibule. In the treatment of the ectopic ureter. ın our case the renal upper pole of the ectopic localized ureter was functional. End-to-side uretero-ureterostomy was performed. Ectopic ureter should be considered in the differential diagnosis of girls with continuous urinary incontinence.
