“…Triplication is more common in females and on the left side [2]. Presenting symptoms are renal colic, recurrent UTI, and urinary incontinence [2,4]. In addition, patients with triplication may encounter symptoms and signs of reflux, obstruction, ureterocele, or ectopia, similar to those with duplication anomalies [1].…”

“…Ureteral duplication in the contralater al ureter represents the most common anomaly associated with triplication (37%). Ureteral ectopia (28%) and renal dysplasia (8%) arc other common associations [2], Occa sionally ureterocoele or vesico-ureteric reflux, and rarely syndactyly, angiomas, or malformation of the sex organs may be present. The case we present did not have any other associated congenital anomaly.…”

“…We assume that the recurrent acute epididymitis in this patient was probably caused by an intermittent partial obstruction of the left ejaculatory duct, compressed by the blind ending and dilated ipsilateral ectopic ureter. Ureteric triplication occurs more often in female than in male patients and on the left more often than on the right; it is often associated with other congenital anomalies [ 3]. This anomaly may follow an autosomal dominant type of inheritance with incomplete penetrance [ 4].…”

a marked delay in excretion and hydronephrosis on the Case report left. A voiding cysto-urethrogram failed to detect VUR and a renal scan showed no function in the left kidney. A 37-year-old man presented with a left-sided scrotal swelling, dysuria and fever consistent with the clinical CT of the abdomen showed a hydronephrotic left kidney with a dilated tortuous ureter (Fig. 2) involving the left diagnosis of acute epididymitis. During the last few years he had experienced similar episodes of epididymitis on seminal vesicle and ending ectopically in the prostate. On cystoscopy, the right ureteric orifice was positioned the left, with no further investigation. The patient was married and had fathered four children. Urine analysis normally, but no left orifice could be identified. The epididymitis resolved completely under treatment with showed white blood cells (WBC, 500/mL) and no bacteriuria; urine culture was sterile and cultures for Chlamydia, oral antibiotics. After 4 weeks, a left nephroureterectomy and resection of the left seminal vesicle Ureaplasma, Mycoplasma and tuberculosis were negative. Haematology and biochemical screens were within was performed, revealing a trifid ureter passing the left seminal vesicle and ending blindly in the prostate (Fig. 3). normal limits apart from a WBC count of 17 500/mL. Ultrasonography revealed a normal right kidney but onThe post-operative course was uneventful and the patient has had no recurrence of epididymitis for 12 months. the left there was marked hydronephrosis with no evidence of a renal cortex; a dilated and tortuous ureter could be followed down to the bladder base.
