We report a case of a complete, ectopic blind-ending ureteral duplication in a 26-year-old man who presented with the symptoms of an acute urinary tract infection for the first time. Since anamnestic data and clinical examination indicated a complicated urinary infection he was referred for further examination. On the left side, the imaging studies revealed a normal ureter draining the lower pole of the kidney and a blind-ending ureter with ectopia in the seminal vesicle. The patient recovered completely following surgical removal of the blind-ending ureter.

A complete ureteral triplication is a rare congenital urinary tract anomaly that typically presents in childhood. This is an exceedingly rare case of an adult male presenting with right pyelonephritis and flank pain who was subsequently diagnosed with a right type I ureteral triplication associated with an obstructed megaureter inserted into the prostatic urethra. This patient underwent a right partial nephrectomy to remove the dilated and non-functional upper renal segment leaving behind a blind ending ureteral remnant.

Background: Schistosomiasis is most notably associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder, and it is estimated that approximately 10% of people infected will develop a urologic complication. Ureteral pathology is rare and has only been described in a handful of case reports. Increasing awareness of this condition is needed given a recent increase in sub-Saharan immigrant population in the United States (US), as prompt recognition is key to providing optimal care.
