title: Ectopically draining dysplastic kidney associated with genuine stress urinary incontinence: unusual combined cause of incontinence.
abstract: A thirty-two-year-old Samoan woman was referred for evaluation of "unstable bladder" and a history of continuous life-long urinary incontinence. A comprehensive radiographic and urodynamic evaluation demonstrated the unusual combination of a vaginal ectopic ureter draining a dysplastic kidney and genuine stress urinary incontinence. Appropriate treatment based on the recognition of both abnormalities resulted in restoration of continence.
