Unilateral isolated duplicated ureter

Ureteric duplication is the most common anomaly of the urinary system that may be asymptomatic or associated with clinical findings. These cases of duplication of ureters are found during radiographic imaging of the abdomen and pelvic region or accidentally during the dissection of cadavers. The aim of the study was to report a congenital anomaly in the urinary system in cadaveric dissection. During routine cadaveric dissection in the Department of Human Biology of the Faculty of Health-Care Sciences, Eastern University, Sri Lanka, we noted a left-sided unilateral bifid renal pelvis with incompletely duplicated ureter in an approximately 60-65 years old male cadaver and the two segments of ureter unite 5cm before draining into the urinary bladder by a single ureteric orifice. Right-sided kidney and ureter were normal. Both the ureters opened in the urinary bladder with a single opening as usual.Knowledge of the anatomical variations of the urinary system is important for anatomists, radiologists, urologists, and surgeons during radiological interventional procedures, laparoscopic or open surgical procedures.
