Vesicoureteral reflux associated with intact orthotopic ureterocele. 1977

T A Borden, and A Martinez

Two cases of vesicoureteral reflux into intact, orthotopic ureteroceles are described. A review of the literature failed to reveal any similar reports. Insufficient submucosal ureteral length was thought to be the cause in each of the cases. Both patients were satisfactorily managed with standard ureteroneocystostomy after resection of the ureterocele.
