Unilateral renal agenesis, blind-ended ureter, and ectopic ureterocele inserting into the seminal vesicle: A very rare developmental association
Congenital renal anomalies are common imaging findings and can often be detected antenatally. In some cases, these anomalies may go undetected and present in adulthood. We report a very rare case of unilateral renal agenesis in a 22-year-old male associated with an ipsilateral dilated blind-ended ur...

| description | Congenital renal anomalies are common imaging findings and can often be detected antenatally. In some cases, these anomalies may go undetected and present in adulthood. We report a very rare case of unilateral renal agenesis in a 22-year-old male associated with an ipsilateral dilated blind-ended ureter that ectopically inserted into the seminal vesicle. This unique combination of developmental anomalies can lead to a variety of clinical presentations and requires careful monitoring and management. |
