| Abstract: | This is a retrospective analysis of the clinical and radiological data recorded in 45 children with ectopic and 5 children with orthotopic ureteroceles diagnosed from 1965 to 1982. As shown in this article, it is mandatory to perform an ultrasonic examination of kidney and bladder whenever there are signs of urinary tract infection or any abnormalities of voiding. Ureterocele is diagnosed by i.v. urogram in more than 90% of cases; before treatment it is obligatory to perform a voiding cystourethrogram in addition. |
