Congenital Uretero-Vaginal Fistula - A Rare Case of Single System Ectopic Ureter Associated with Renal Dysplasia
Abstract Urinary incontinence resulting from functional disturbances is common in childhood, however diagnosis of urinary incontinence due to organic causes such as ectopic ureter and genital fistulas is important because urinary continence in females has a negative impact on the quality of life and correct diagnosis carries a potential of absolute treatment by surgical corrections. We present a case of a 9-year-old female with complaints of involuntary leakage of urine from the vagina despite normal bladder filling and emptying. A diagnosis of ectopic ureter with uretero-vaginal fistula was made. Radiological evaluation is important in cases of suspected ectopic ureter and best results can be achieved by using multi-disciplinary approach.
