We report a 10-year-old boy who presented with nocturnal enuresis. Radiological workup revealed a left ureteral triplication (Smith type 2) with a contralateral duplication and ureterocele. This presentation and its association are extremely rare. The clinical and radiological features are presented here as early diagnosis is important to avoid complications and future renal damage.

Article Synopsis
- A case of complete ureteral triplication, a rare urinary tract anomaly, was diagnosed in an adult male with pyelonephritis, showcasing its unusual presentation in adulthood.
- The patient underwent a right partial nephrectomy to remove a non-functional upper kidney segment while preserving a blind ureteral remnant, resulting in relief from flank pain and urinary infections.
- This case highlights the lack of established surgical methods for adult triplicated ureters but suggests partial nephrectomy can be an effective, less invasive treatment option.

Ureteral triplication is one of the least encountered congenital malformations of the upper urinary tract. We report a case of a 37-year-old male patient with right renal ectopia with triplication of the ureter which was diagnosed via computed tomography (CT) urography. This is an intriguing example because, as we discovered after reviewing the literature, the presentation is distinctive.

Rationale: Ureteral triplication (UT) is a very rare disorder, with a challenging diagnosis and varied therapeutic methods. In the past, the treatment usually involved heminephrureterectomy of the stunted moiety. Here, we reported a case of complete UT that was treated by laparoscopic triple-ureteral ureteroureterostomy (UU).
