Abstract

A duplex collecting system (DCS) is a congenital genitourinary tract malformation. It is found bilaterally in 0.3% of excretory urograms. Complete duplication is more uncommon than the incomplete form. Ureterocele is a congenital cystic dilation of the intravesical ureter. An incidentally detection of a rare case of bilateral duplex collecting system in an adult patient with a non-specific abdominal pain is described. The DCS was complete on the right side with the upper ureter moiety ending with an intravesical ureterocele. The right upper ureter moiety was presented along with obstructive stones.
