Blind-ending bifid ureter with an intravesical ectopic orifice.
Blind-ending bifid ureters, as one type of duplications, are a rare congenital anomaly of the urinary tract. Occasionally they present with unspecific symptoms and require surgical intervention. This case of a blind-ending bifid ureter was associated with an intravesical ectopic orifice. Recurrent urinary tract infection necessitated excision of the blind branch and ureteroneocystostomy using the psoas-hitch technique.
