Urethro-ejaculatory duct reflux during mictiocystography in an anatomically normal infant.
A 7-month-old patient with a verified urinary tract infection showed an unusual mictiocystography finding of reflux via the right ejaculatory duct into the epididymis. Usually such reflux is associated with anomalies of the genitourinary tract. This case demonstrated that reflux may occur in healthy infants and that it may be clinically associated with urinary tract infections.
