04. Double ureters are seen exiting from each kidney and extending to the bladder that has been opened. A small segment of aorta is seen between the normal, smooth-surfaced kidneys. A partial or complete duplication of one or both ureters occurs in about 1 in 150 persons. There is a potential for obstructive problems due to the abnormal flow of urine and the entrance of two ureters into the bladder in close proximity, but most of the time this is an incidental finding (except to a urologist). |
