title: [Diagnostic problems in pyelo-ureteral duplication. Presentation of a case].
abstract: A case of left pyeloureteral duplication with half a kidney functionally excluded is reported. After some mention of embryology to evidence the pathogenetic moments of the malformation, the clinical case is described, particular reference being made to the problems encountered in reaching diagnosis, in spite of the patient having undergone varied and repeated investigations. Superior heminephrectomy and total ureterectomy led to the clinical wellbeing of the patient.
