Bilateral single-system ectopic ureter associated with choledochal cyst: report of 2 cases.

Ectopic ureters in children are associated with symptoms related to an abnormal localization or structure of the ureteric orifice including reflux or obstruction. Approximately 20% to 25% of ectopic ureters drain a nonduplicated renal system. Associated malformations are common in these cases. We treated 2 girls with bilateral single-system ectopic ureter associated with choledochal cysts. In both cases, ureteral reimplantation and resection of the choledochal cyst with hepaticojejunostomy were carried out. The coincidence of bilateral single-system ectopic ureter with choledochal cyst without any other severe malformation is not described in the literature.
