Collecting system duplication is marked by a variety of clinical syndromes. Bilateral and obstructed duplicated systems, particularly with asymmetric levels of duplication, are rare and typically due to ureteric bud development anomalies. The infrequency with which this condition exists makes it a formidable challenge for physicians and patients. To our knowledge, we present the first case report of bilateral obstruction of bilaterally duplicated collecting systems. In our case, a 52-year-old male complaining of low back pain, constipation, urinary urgency and hematuria was found to have bilateral obstructing stones as well as asymmetrical bilateral collecting system duplication. We discuss the natural history of this condition, its consequences and identification.
集合系统重复以多种临床综合征为特征。双侧梗阻性重复集合系统,尤其是重复水平不对称的情况,较为罕见,通常是由于输尿管芽发育异常所致。这种情况的罕见性使其对医生和患者来说都是一项艰巨的挑战。据我们所知,我们首次报告了双侧重复集合系统双侧梗阻的病例。在我们的病例中,一名52岁男性,主诉腰痛、便秘、尿急和血尿,被发现患有双侧梗阻性结石以及不对称的双侧集合系统重复。我们讨论了这种情况的自然病程、后果及识别方法。
