title: Perioperative Anuria Resulting in the Diagnosis of Infrasphincteric Ectopic Ureter in an Adult Female.
abstract: Ectopic ureter, particularly in females, often presents at a young age as incontinence. Otherwise healthy girls who have continuous urinary wetting during day and night despite adequate toilet training should be held with a high level of suspicion for an extravesical infrasphincteric ectopic ureteral orifice. If such a diagnosis goes undiscovered, frequent reflux or obstruction may cause permanent damage to the renal unit, as in the patient discussed here.
