[An ectopic ureter with communication to the duct of Gartner and opening into the cervix--a rare cause of uncontrolled urine loss].
This is a report of a 22-year-old woman who suffered from a loss of urine via the vagina of unknown origin since childhood. The diagnosis of a left ureteral and renal duplication with an opening of an ectopic ureter into the cervix was established. Due to the result of the retrograde pyelogram we came to the conclusion that the opening into the cervix must have been via a segment of a Gartner duct. The ectopic system and the Gartner duct were completely removed by a combined abdomino-vaginal operation. Genesis, diagnostics, differential diagnostics and therapy of ectopic ureters are described.
