Abstract


 

Segmental cystic dilatation of ureter is extremely rare in children. In this paper, we present and discuss an infant with a segmental cystic dilatation of ureter. While the proximal and distal ureteral segments were normal calibration and peristaltic activity, a cystic dilatation in the middle of ureter was found. Excision of the dilated segment of ureter and end-to-end ureteric anastomosis was performed. This rare anomaly should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of the abdominal masses in infancy.

Key Words: Ureter, Cystic Dilatation of Ureter, Segmental Megaureter, Megaureter, Children
