Case reportUreterocele prolapse—rare presentation in an adolescent girl
Section snippets
Comment
The most common presentation of ureterocele, despite increasing detection on antenatal maternal ultrasound scans, remains urinary tract infection in the first few months after birth.1 Prolapse is a rare presentation for a ureterocele, accounting for less than 5% of cases. In fact, Shekarriz et al.2 reported no prolapsing ureteroceles in a review of 106 children with a ureterocele. When prolapse occurs, it is generally in an infant and usually associated with the upper pole of a duplex system.
