The authors present a case of ectopic opening of the left ureter into the seminal tract. This was a very young child (14 months). The diagnosis was made on intravenous pyelography on direct signs (opacification of the malformation). There was a wide communication between the latter and the posterior urethra as was shown on retrograde urethrocystography. The urinary tracts on the side of the lesion were very fine, and there was an outline of a very mildly functional kidney. Embryologically it is a case of absence of separation between the ureteral bud and the Wolffian canal.

We report a case of renal tuberculosis combined with bladder cancer. The patient was a 57-year-old man with no history of tuberculosis who presented with hematuria and signs of urinary tract irritation. Computed tomography (CT) showed florid, bowel-filling calcifications at the level of the right renal hilum, multiple hyperdense shadows from the right renal pelvis to the ureter, and left pyelo-ureteral effusion.

Patients with obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) syndrome sometimes present with distinct symptoms related to coexisting urogenital abnormalities. We present a case of refractory abscess formation in a blind-ended remnant ureter associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis. A 15-year-old patient with OHVIRA syndrome, who had a blind-ended remnant ureter, underwent obstructed hemivagina opening 18 months after menarche due to heavy genital bleeding and abdominal pain after the end of menstruation.

Article Synopsis
- * During the procedure, doctors make punctures above the ureterocele while using specific tools like cystoscopes and metallic needles, sometimes utilizing lasers for decompression.
- * A study showed that 92% of patients underwent endoscopic treatment, with an 83% success rate in achieving the desired decompression after one procedure, though careful handling is needed to avoid complications like reflux.
