UNILATERAL SINGLE VAGINAL ECTOPIC URETER WITH IPSILATERAL HYPOPLASTICPELVIC KIDNEY AND BICORNUATE UTERUS

We report on 2 patients with a unilateral vaginal ectopic ureter assoc iated with a single system, ipsilateral hypoplastic pelvic kidney and bicornuate uterus. Although there are many reports of concomitant urin ary and reproductive system malformations, a review of the literature shows these unique associations in the same patient to be extremely ra re. These findings provide further evidence of the intricate interacti on between mesonephric (wolffian) and paramesonephric (mullerian) duct s in the development of the urogenital system. Embryological aspects a s well as clinical presentation, diagnostic approach and treatment app licable to this group are discussed.
