TL;DR
A 42-year-old woman with a rare urinary tract condition called ureterocele was successfully treated with a minimally invasive procedure.
Contribution
This case report highlights the successful management of ureteral duplication with ureterocele using endoscopic ureterocelotomy.
Findings
CT urography identified ureteral duplication with a left ureterocele causing upper tract obstruction.
Endoscopic ureterocelotomy resolved the obstruction and alleviated the patient's symptoms.
Abstract
An intravesical ureterocele is a rare condition in which a terminal ureter terminates in a cystic dilation of the bladder. We present the case of a 42-year-old female who presented with irritative lower urinary tract symptoms and left lower back pain. Computed tomography (CT) urography revealed ureteral duplication with a ureterocele complicated by upper tract obstruction. Treatment involved endoscopic ureterocelotomy, which successfully relieved symptoms and resolved renal obstruction.
