Ureteral triplication is a rare congenital anomaly of urinary tract with
wide spectrum of presentation. The association of ureteral triplication with
stricture of one of the branch is very rare and has hardly been reported in
literature. We present a case of 20 year old boy presenting with recurrent
urinary tract infection and with occasional haematuria. Ultrasonography
revealed hydroureter with likely double moiety and ectopic insertion of ureter
into the prostatic urethra. On CT urography, triple moiety of the right kidney
was revealed with stricture of middle ureter at site of union of ureters and
resultant proximal hydroureter. Renal tissue was dysplastic in mid pole.
Ectopic insertion of single ureter into the prostatic urethra was also seen.
Radiological features along with embryology and review of literature is discussed.
