Incomplete duplication of the bladder. A case report.
Duplication of the bladder is an unusual congenital anomaly and is usually associated with other anomalies. We report an unusual case of duplicated bladder in a 8-year-old boy resulting from a septum in the sagittal plane. This malformation was associated with dysplasia of the left kidney and agenesis of the left testicle. The basic defects that lead to duplication of the lower urinary tract are unknown.
