A case of lithiasis inside a blind-ending branch of a trifid ureter is presented. This is a very uncommon anomaly and its association with lithiasis is not previously reported. The diagnosis was made by means of excretory urography followed by computed tomography (CT). The embryology, classification, and clinical aspects of such malformation are discussed.
