Complete ureteral duplication is defined by a kidney that has two ureters with two orifices that communicate to the bladder through two ureteral meati. It is an anatomical variant that remains rare. Its early discovery is due to a lack of diagnostic means, hence the occurrence of long-term complications. To this end, we observe an increased importance of the morbidity linked to the late diagnosis of this duplicity. We report a case of incomplete ureteral duplication complicated by ureterohydronephrosis on lithiasis wedged in the uretero-vesical junction of one of the ureters in its lower portion which required uretero-lithotomy with bladder reimplantation of the ureters. Our aim was to show the importance of the morbidity associated with late diagnosis of this anomaly and the incidence of infection and complications that this pathology poses as a problem. This was a clinical case of fortuitous discovery managed by a general surgeon in the general surgery department of the hospital “Mère Enfant” Le Luxembourg Bamako Mali. The suites were simple.展开更多

Our objective was to show the importance of the morbidity linked to the late diagnosis of this anomaly, the incidence of the infection and the complications that this pathology poses as a problem. It was a clinical case of fortuitous discovery taken care of by a general surgeon in the general surgery department of the hospital “Mother Child” Le Luxembourg Bamako Mali. We report a case of complete ureteral duplication complicated by ureterohydronephrosis on a lithiasis wedged in the uretero-vesical junction of one of the left ureters in its lower portion which required a uretero-lithotomy with bladder reimplantation of the left ureters and secondly to a uretero-lithotomy with bladder reimplantation after two months.

Yo-yo reflux can be a cause of repeated urinary tract infection with subsequent renal damage. Aim of the work: The current study evaluated the presence of yo-yo reflux as reason of upper moiety dilation in cases with incomplete duplication of upper urinary tract. Methodology: 10 cases with a dilated upper moiety of duplex renal pelvicalyceal system were examined with color duplex ultrasonography. All were further investigated with intravenous pyelography (IVP), and ascending/micturating cystography. Results: 9 cases with upper moiety dilation showed complete duplication of the pelvicalyceal systems and ureters and 1 case with dilated upper moiety showed incomplete ureteric duplication in which the diagnosis of Yo-yo reflux was confirmed by color duplex ultrasound in addition to the intravenous pyelography findings. Conclusion: The presence of antegrade/retrograde flow within the dilated moiety of a duplex kidney during color duplex study in addition to the intravenous pyelography findings can confirm the diagnosis of yo-yo reflux.展开更多
