Bladder neck obstruction caused by a large simple ureterocele in a young male.
The most common clinical presentation of ureterocele is infection of the urinary tract. Much less common is obstruction of the bladder outlet by prolapse of the ureterocele into the urethra. Even less common is simple occlusion of the bladder outlet by a nonprolapsing ureterocele. We present such a case where a large, simple ureterocele in a young male led to such obstruction.
