Özet
Blind ending ureter is a rare congenital malformation of the urinary system and is classified as a ureteral duplication anomaly. Most cases are not diagnosed until they become symptomatic. Although it is a congenital malformation, patients are usually diagnosed in the 3rd and 4th decades and presentation in childhood is very rare. Mostly they manifest with loin pain, urinary tract infection, or stone disease. Intravenous pyelogram, retrograde pyelogram, and computerized tomography can be used for diagnosis. Voiding cystourethrography must be performed to exclude associated vesicoureteral reflux. Herein, we report an 11-year-old child who had a blind ending duplicated ureter associated with vesicoureteral reflux causing renal atrophy.
