Urology. 2009 Jan;73(1):210.e1-2. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2008.02.008. Epub 2008 Apr 18.

Abstract

We present an extremely infrequent urologic entity of asymptomatic double-blind ureteral duplication in an 8-year-old girl. Contemporary imaging modalities provided major assistance in the diagnosis. Surgical management is advocated because of the potential for future complications, such as lithiasis, obstruction of the collecting system, and renal failure.
