Bilateral Ureteropelvic Junction Disruptions in a 17-Year-Old With Bilateral Ureteral Duplications: Impact of Unrecognized Duplications and Unique Management of Nephrocutaneous Fistula

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A case of bilateral ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) disruptions in a patient with bilateral duplication anomalies is presented. A UPJ disruption with a duplication anomaly has not been reported let alone bilateral duplication anomalies. The unrecognized duplication anomalies led to isolated and obstructed upper pole segments that were managed by bilateral heminephrectomies. A nephrocutaneous fistula developed after one of the heminephrectomies that was successfully managed using a method of percutaneous fulguration and fibrin sealant. In UPJ disruption cases, the possibility of a duplicated collecting system should be considered as an unrecognized duplication may complicate management and prolong recovery.
