Abstract :
IntroductionUreter duplication is a common anomaly of the urinary tract in which both ureters drain one kidney. In bipolar renal duplication, the Meyer-Weigert-Rule describes the duplex ureters draining pattern. Owing to obstruction, the upper pole is usually seen as dysplastic, while the lower pole is associated with vesicoureteral reflux.Case presentationHerein, we report a rare case of renal duplication in which the lower moiety is dysplastic. A 30-year-old woman with a right single kidney with atrophic and dysfunction without secretions.ConclusionsRadiologists and urologists should always be aware because if the lower moiety is obstructive, this newly implemented variation can require individualized care.
