The authors report the 22nd case of double ureter to be published in the literature, in which one ureteral branch had a blind ending and did not terminate in any parenchyma. The condition was discovered during on antireflux operation for reflux in the lower pelvis of one Kidney which was known to be duplicated, and reflux in an apparently single contralateral pelvis. The pathological implications of this blind ureter are not well defined. The embryogenesis of the ureter and of ureteral duplications is reviewed and a general classification of double, bifid, and blind ureters outlined. Double ureter with one blind branch are three times more frequent in women than in men and are associated in 30 per cent of cases with contralateral bifid or duplicated ureters. The published literature is reviewed in detail.
作者报告了文献中第22例双输尿管病例，其中一个输尿管分支呈盲端，未终止于任何实质组织。该病例是在为一侧已知重复肾的下肾盂反流以及对侧明显单一肾盂反流进行抗反流手术时发现的。这条盲端输尿管的病理意义尚不明确。本文回顾了输尿管及输尿管重复的胚胎发生过程，并概述了双输尿管、双歧输尿管和盲端输尿管的一般分类。有一个盲端分支的双输尿管在女性中的发生率是男性的三倍，30%的病例与对侧双歧或重复输尿管有关。本文详细回顾了已发表的文献。
