URETEROCELE 3D IMAGES


This was a 50-year-old gentleman , who presented with recurrent lower abdominal pain to the surgeon and was referred for a scan.

He had an essentially normal appearance of the upper abdominal organs . His kidneys also appeared to be normal.

The urinary bladder showed the following :

images of the kidney are given below.

The patient was seen by the urologist and an IVP was done , which proved the diagnosis of orthotopic ureterocele . (a ureterocele entirely within the bladder.)

  1. In cases I have met the cyst disappears or reduces in size after voiding or passing urine. This has assisted me to confirm the diagnosis of a ureterocele
