Abstract
Historically, majority of the duplication anomalies of the ureter go unnoticed as clinical manifestations of such anomalies are uncommon. Incomplete duplication of ureter with lower moiety ureteropelvic junction obstruction is quite rare. These patients present with recurrent loin pain and urinary tract infection. In cases of complete duplication, urinary tract infection may be the presenting feature [1–4]. Each patient requires individualised treatment. Management depends on several factors including the functional status of the portion of the kidney.
