title: Aids in diagnosis of suspect ectopic ureters in female patients.
abstract: When suspected ectopic ureters cannot be visualized by conventional methods, such as excretory urogram, nephrotomograms, or by intravenous indigo carmine, then direct injection of vaginal, suburethral, or paraurethral "swellings," which are in effect dilated terminal ureters, may confirm the diagnosis.
