Single-system cecoureterocele.
A rare case of single system cecoureterocele associated with ipsilateral dysplastic kidney in a 4-year-old girl is reported. The preoperative radiological and endoscopic investigations identified ureterocele but not its cecal extension. The latter was diagnosed only during the transvesical surgery. Complete cure of her symptoms was achieved following staged procedures comprising of right ipsilateral nephroureterectomy followed by combined transvesical and transurethral deroofing of the cecoureterocele, excision of ureteric stump and its extension in the bladder and repair of the detrusor. This is the second case report in English language literature of single-system cecoureterocele.
