Four cases of ureteral triplication in children are described. In one case ureteral triplication was detected incidentally and it was not accompanied by any other pathology of the urinary tract. In the three remaining cases there were pathologies of the urinary system (reflux, obstruction) that demanded surgical treatment. The literature concerning this rare anomaly is reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
