Abstract

Background: The ureters are a pair of thick walled cylindrical tubes which convey urine from the corresponding kidney to the urinary bladder. They descend along the posterior abdominal wall to enter the bladder on its poster inferior surface. Premature division of urethral bud results in double ureter. Duplication of ureter can be incomplete or complete. The term ‘bifid’ ureter is used when it is incomplete. Aims and Objectives: To study the anomalous pattern of ureters and its clinical implications. Materials and Methods: We studied 150 cadavers over a period of 2 years for the presence of anomalies of ureters. Results: We found 2 cases of bifid ureter: in the first case, we found unilateral incomplete double ureter. The duplicated ureters joined with each other in lower part and finally opened in the urinary bladder by a common orifice. In the second case, we got bilateral double ureters. Both the ureters on both the sides opened independently in urinary bladder with 4 separate openings. Conclusion: Double ureter can go unnoticed many times and can give rise to a number of clinical manifestations. Variations are thus important for urological conditions, radiological interpretations and also for surgeries involving renal transplants.

Keywords: Double ureter; Urethral bud; Urinary bladder.
