Seven cases of bifid ureter with a blind-ending branch are presented: diagnosis was primarily made by excretory urogram. In 1 case the diagnosis was confirmed by retrograde pyelogram. The pelvicalyceal system showed ureteroureteral reflux into the blind-ending branch on photofluoroscopy and cineroentgenography. One rare case of blind-ending branch originating in the upper third of the ureter are described. The clinical aspects, roentgenographic findings, and treatment of these findings are reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital gastrointestinal issue that can cause various problems; this case highlights a rare microperforation within it.
- A 31-year-old male experienced significant right lower quadrant pain and fever, initially suspected to be appendicitis, but ultrasound was inconclusive.
- A CT scan revealed a microperforation, and while he was treated conservatively at first, laparoscopic surgery later confirmed the diverticulum's presence, demonstrating effective management options for such complications.
All eight extant species ofRhabdopleuradescribed between 1869 and 2018 are provisionally accepted as valid based on a review of the literature and new data on two little-known species from the Azores. Additionally, four new species are described from the New Zealand region, increasing global diversity by 50%, and a dichotomous key to all 12 described species is provided based on morphological criteria. The distinction between colony morphologies based on erect-tube inception is regarded as particularly helpful in initial characterization of species.

The celiac artery classically divides into three major branches, but it may have variations in branching pattern. Here we report a case of celiac artery having a blind-ending branch in a 54-year-old man who underwent computed tomography of the abdomen before the kidney transplantation surgery. Preprocedural assessment of celiac artery variations is critical for surgical and angiographic procedures involving the upper abdomen.

A bifid ureter is an uncommon congenital anomaly. It develops through abnormal branching of the ureteric bud in utero and represents incomplete duplication of the collecting system. However, a bifid ureter with a blind-ending branch is a rare variant.

BACKGROUND The blind-ending branch of a bifid ureter is a rare congenital anomaly which is usually asymptomatic but can occasionally give rise to various symptoms, such as chronic abdominal pain. Diagnosis is most often confirmed radiologically, and treatment is usually conservative. Surgical resection of the blind ending of a bifid ureter should be considered in cases of persistent symptoms.
