Ureterocele. Coloured urogram (X-ray) of the pelvis of a young child with a ureterocele. This is when the ureter,the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder,is enlarged at the end connected to the bladder (white,lower centre),forming a pouch. In this case,it is the patient's left ureter (tube running up centre right from the bladder) that is abnormal. A ureterocele is a congenital developmental condition that arises while the individual is in their mother's womb. A severe ureterocele causes abnormal urine flow and blockage,so surgery is necessary to correct it and prevent permanent damage to the kidneys | |
