Prenatally diagnosed ureterocele presenting as fetal bladder outlet obstruction.
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.
