Abstract

Objectives: We report a case of associated malformations in a young male with recurrent epididymitis.

Methods: In our study we used the following techniques: ultrasound, intravenous urography, retrograde pyelography, computed tomography and cystoscopy.

Results: We observed three coexisting congenital malformations: renal agenesis, cranial blind-ending ureter and ureterocele.

Conclusions: Different urologic malformations are usually found in association. In our view only symptomatic ureteroceles require treatment.
