title: Ureteral triplication: a rare anomaly with a variety of presentations.
abstract: Ureteral triplication remains a very rare congenital malformation of the urinary tract with a wide spectrum of presentation. The sporadic nature of this condition and its association with other anomalies makes evidence-based management difficult. We report two cases of triplication in association with the VACTERL syndrome, one developing pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction and the other vesico-ureteric reflux.
