title: [Blind-ending bifid ureter: report of a case].
abstract: A case of blind-ending bifid ureter is presented. A 65-year-old man was admitted with the complaint of dysuria. He had no past episode of left flank pain or pyelonephritis. Digital examination and urethrography suggested benign prostatic hypertrophy. Drip infusion pyelography showed an abnormal cavity at the lower portion of the left ureter. He was diagnosed as benign prostate hypertrophy and left blind-ending bifid ureter. During suprapubic prostatectomy, the bifid ureter was resectd. The related reports are reviewed in the Japanese literature.
