Abstract

Congenital anomalies of urogenital system are seen nearly in 10% of all human beings. Bifid and double blind ureters are two rare congenital anomalies of the upper urinary tract. Here, we present an interesting case of a 23–year-old Indian female with primary infertility, married 1½ years and anxious to conceive and complained of vague flank pain from 2 months, was seen in the National Institute of Unani Medicine. Initial abdomen and pelvis ultrasonography showed a left bifid collecting system, which was followed by intravenous urography. Her intravenous urographic finding showed bilateral duplex collecting system with right sided partial bifid ureter joining at the level of fifth lumbar vertebra. Her hysterosalpinogram was normal with no evidence of congenital anomalies. They\ condition should be promptly detected before the manifestations of complications.
