Bladder duplication is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the urinary system that is more frequent in boys; the literature is limited to case reports and case series. We describe two cases of bladder duplication in two infant girls with an uncommon variant of complete sagittal septum not included in the Abrahamson classification. The diagnosis was made using magnetic resonance urography, combining excellent anatomical information and static and dynamic evaluation of the urinary tract. The diagnostic information provided by MR-urography was confirmed on surgical exploration. These cases provide an opportunity for paediatric radiologists and urologists to learn more about bladder duplication and improve their diagnosis of this rare condition.

Aims: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to determine the association of metabolic syndrome (METS) in women with and without overactive bladder (OAB).
Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed and the protocol was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42024606398). We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and LILACS databases to obtain relevant articles for studies reporting METS outcomes related to OAB published through October 2024.

Introduction: Posterior urethral valve (PUV) is a congenital condition marked by obstructing persistent urogenital membrane, leading to urinary tract infections, bladder dysfunction, and kidney damage. It affects males only, mostly suspected antenatally and confirmed in early infancy. It requires early diagnosis and intervention to prevent long-term complications.

Article Synopsis
- Urethral duplication is a rare congenital condition involving an extra urethra, often linked with other anomalies such as bladder exstrophy and renal issues.
- The case presented involves an 8-month-old female with an unusual urinary opening in the prepubic area, confirmed through various diagnostic tests, and successfully treated with surgery to remove the accessory urethra.
- Accurate diagnosis through imaging is crucial, and treatment must be customized based on the specifics of the anomaly; the case emphasizes the need for careful management of urethral duplication.
A rare case of split notochord syndrome with neurenteric cyst: clinical challenges, surgical approach, and literature review.
Childs Nerv Syst
December 2024
Division of Neurosurgery, IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini, Genoa, Italy.
Split notochord syndrome (SNS) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by incomplete midline notochordal integration during gastrulation, leading to segmental clefts of the spine. This case report describes a female patient with symptomatic cervico-dorsal SNS associated with a neurenteric cyst (NEC), intrathoracic gut duplication, and secondary hydrocephalus. Multistep surgical interventions were performed, including hydrocephalus management, excision of the cyst and gut duplication, and detethering with sectioning of the filum.

Objective: To explore the therapeutic value of laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy compared to single ureteral bladder reimplantation in the treatment of pediatric complete renal duplication.
Methods: This retrospective study included 80 pediatric patients with complete renal duplication who underwent surgical treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to December 2022. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical approach: the laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy group (LUU group, n = 45) and the single ureteral bladder reimplantation group (UR group, n = 35).
