Congenital megaureter, a rare condition in adults characterized by an abnormally widened ureter, is sometimes diagnosed when individuals develop kidney stones. These stones may form within the dilated ureter itself or in the kidney or ureter above the widened segment. Although uncommon in adults, congenital megaureter should be considered in cases of isolated lower ureteral dilation, as its management may require more complex surgery to prevent recurring symptoms.
先天性巨输尿管是一种在成人中罕见的疾病,其特征是输尿管异常增宽,有时在个体出现肾结石时被诊断出来。这些结石可能在扩张的输尿管内形成,也可能在肾脏或增宽段上方的输尿管中形成。虽然先天性巨输尿管在成人中不常见,但在孤立性下段输尿管扩张的病例中应考虑到,因为其治疗可能需要更复杂的手术以防止症状复发。
