ureterocele
A ureterocele is a medical condition characterized by the swelling or enlargement of the ureter, a tube that transports urine from the kidneys to the bladder, due to a blockage. This condition can lead to urine buildup, causing damage to the kidneys and other complications. It can occur in one or both ureters and is usually present at birth (congenital).

Ureterocele
A ureterocele is a congenital abnormality found in the ureter. In this condition called ureteroceles, the distal ureter balloons at its opening into the bladder, forming a sac-like pouch. It is most often associated with a duplicated collection system, where two ureters drain their respective kidney instead of one. Simple ureteroceles, where the condition involves only a single ureter, represents only twenty percent of cases. Ureteroceles affects one in 4,000 individuals, at least four-fifths of whom are female. Patients are frequently Caucasian. Since the advent of the ultrasound, most ureteroceles are diagnosed prenatally. The pediatric and adult conditions are often found only through diagnostic imaging performed for reasons other than suspicious ureteroceles.
