Abstract
- A congenital ureteral valve is a rare disease, with the first case presented in 1887, since when, only 42 cases have subsequently been reported. From a review of the reported cases, this abnormality was often found to be associated with other urological disorders, such as vesicoureteral reflux, ectopic ureter, complete and incomplete duplication of the kidney, and contralateral renal atrophy. Here, the case of an adult patient with multiple congenital ureteral valves and renal atrophy is reported.
