title: Prenatally diagnosed ureterocele presenting as fetal bladder outlet obstruction.
abstract: The prenatal detection of fetal genitourinary abnormalities is becoming more frequent. The exact nature of these anomalies is frequently difficult to delineate before delivery. We report a case of fetal bladder outlet obstruction caused by an ectopic ureterocele associated with a duplicated renal collecting system, which was visible on prenatal ultrasonographic examination. Postnatal follow-up is presented.
