Abstract
- A ureterocele is a sacculation of the terminal portion of the ureter. On the base of location of the orifice, ureteroceles are divided into simple and ectopic types. The simple ureteroceles arise from nor mally located ureteral orifice and are more common in adults than in children and relatively small. The ectopic ureteroceles arise from a ureteral opening in the bladder neck or urethra and are related to the upper pole ureter of duplicated ureters. Herein we report 2 cases of simple ureterocele complicated by a stone and infection each other with review of literatures.
