The author reports 12 girls, 4 to 8 years of age, and 2 boys, a newborn and a 6 year old, with ectopic ureter diagnosed at the Children's Hospital in Panama City. In 7 of the girls the ureter drained into the vaginal vestibule and in 5, into the urethra. In the boys, the ureter drained into the prostatic urethra in one and in the perineal region in the other. All the patients had had incontinence and urinary tract infection. The author present the clinical history of a 3 year old girl with the diagnosis of right renal agenesis, absence of the right ureteral meatus and urinary incontinence, in whom resection of the hypoplastic, dysplastic right kidney and the atretic right renal artery was done. The distal ureterogram, performed during the operation, showed drainage into a Gartner's cyst (residual of a Wolff's cyst) which then drained into the vagina.
