title: A case of ureteral triplication (type 1) associated with vesicoureteral reflux in a solitary kidney.
abstract: Ureteral triplication is a rare congenital anomaly of the upper urinary tract. It is reported to be associated with an increased incidence of congenital anomalies as well as a predisposition to infection and calculus formation. We report a case of type 1 variant of ureteral triplication associated with vesicoureteral reflux into lower and mid pole ureters in a solitary kidney. To our knowledge ureteral triplication in a solitary kidney has not been described previously.
