Seven (87.5%) patients presented with prenatal detection of hydronephrosis and ureterocele, one (12.5%) patient presented with a febrile UTI. All patients were on antibiotic prophylaxis throughout the surgery. [liebertpub.com]

We present five proved cases of ureterocele demonstrating the typical radiographic findings. [pubs.rsna.org]

Results Presentations Urinary tract infection; urosepsis: Urinary tract infection is usually the most common postnatal presentation of ureterocle, patients presented with cloudy urine, urinary pain, and fever [ 42, 43 ]. [clinmedjournals.org]

We also review the varied presentations and management of obstructing ureteroceles in adults who have presented at our institution. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

They can be detected antenatally, may have incidental diagnosis or present with consequences of obstructive uropathy. They always present with secondary complications in adulthood, if the diagnosis and treatment is missed in early years of life. [jiaps.com]

• Recurrent Abdominal Pain

  There is no characteristic clinical picture caused by this condition, but fever, pyuria and recurrent abdominal pain are often present in children. [8] The main clinical presentation in this patient was recurrent abdominal pain. [wajradiology.org]

• Right Flank Pain

  CASE REPORT A 35 year-old woman gravida 5 para 2 at 22 weeks gestation presented to the emergency room with fevers and right flank pain. She was febrile to 39.0°C, tachycardic at 120/min, with stable blood pressure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Salpingitis

  Symptoms can include:[citation needed] Frequent urinary tract infections Pyelonephritis Obstructive voiding symptoms Urinary retention Failure to thrive Hematuria Cyclic abdominal pain Urolithiasis Cobra head sign is seen in radiography In females: salpingitis [en.wikipedia.org]

Once the UTI is diagnosed, further radiology workup can identify the ureterocele. Your child may be placed on a low dose of antibiotics to inhibit the growth of bacteria and prevent further UTIs. This is called antibiotic prophylaxis. [chop.edu]

Although patient refused diagnostic cystoscopy, radiological workup confirms the intravesical location of ureterocele in our patient which is the rare variant [ 3, 4 ]. Clinical findings are variable. [casereports.in]

Sometimes, observation (no treatment) may be recommended. The following are treatment options: Surgery Transurethral Puncture With this treatment, the ureterocele is punctured and decompressed. [urologyhealth.org]

Nevertheless, the general goals of ureterocele treatment can be applied to all patients. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Intravesical cystic dilation or septa within the bladder (which represent ureterocele walls) suggest that the etiology of the hydronephrosis may be an ureterocele. [ijri.org]

Ultrasonographic findings are relatively specific for ureteroceles, because the other etiologies of a cyst within a cyst are relatively rare. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology • Delayed canalization of Chwalla membrane during embryogenesis which causes obstruction of the ureteric orifice. • (Chwalla membrane is a primitive membrane that separates the ureteric bud from the developing urogenital sinus). [slideshare.net]

Epidemiology Frequency Ureteroceles occur in approximately 1 in every 4000 children and occur most commonly in whites. Females are affected 4-7 times more often than males. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology It is important to make a distinction between orthotopic and ectopic ureteroceles since therapeutic options and outcomes differ between these two clinical entities. [emedicine.medscape.com]

In 1968, Stephens [ 3 ] developed a pathophysiological classification which divided ureteroceles according to the size and location of the ureteric orifice into four categories: • Stenotic, narrow orifice within the bladder; • Sphincteric, wide orifice [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Antibiotics Antibiotics are used to fight bacteria and prevent kidney infection. A child with a possible urine block or urine reflux may be given antibiotics to prevent infections until the defect is corrected. [urologyhealth.org]

Outcomes included relief of obstruction, prevention of infection/reflux, and need for subsequent surgery. [sjkdt.org]

The cause of ureteroceles is unknown and there is no known prevention for this condition. Who gets ureterocele? Ureteroceles run in families, so there is a genetic component. [childrenscolorado.org]

The swollen area prevents urine from moving freely into the bladder. The urine collects in the ureter and stretches its walls. It expands like a water balloon. A ureterocele can also cause urine to flow backward from the bladder to the kidney. [nicklauschildrens.org]
