[Giant orthotopic ureterocele. Diagnosis by ureteral jet detection with doppler color ultrasonography].
OBJECTIVE
To present an additional case of orthotopic ureterocele in a patient that consulted for hematuria and outlet obstruction, with special reference to the utility of non-invasive color doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of this condition.


RESULTS
This condition was suspected on detecting a ureteral jet inside a cystic lesion of the bladder. The diagnosis was confirmed by IVP and cytoscopy. Treatment was by transurethral resection with good functional results.


CONCLUSIONS
Color doppler ultrasound is useful for the diagnosis of ureteroceles, particularly in patients in whom contrast or ionizing radiation must be avoided.
