title: Simple ureteroceles--ultrasonographic recognition and diagnosis of complications.
abstract: Ultrasound scans were performed on 6 adult males with simple ureteroceles, 2 of which were detected on primary scanning of patients in renal failure and 4 after excretory urography. Two complications were also detected--obstruction with hydro-ureter formation and tumour formation in a ureterocele. A scheme is proposed for differentiating ureteroceles from other causes of bladder filling defects using ultrasound examination.
