Ectopic ureters are found in 1 of every 2000–4000 patients, [6] and can be difficult to diagnose, but are most often seen on CT scans. [7] Ectopic ureter is commonly a result of a duplicated renal collecting system, a duplex kidney with 2 ureters. In this case, usually one ureter drains correctly to the bladder, with the duplicated ureter ...

[1] This sign is characterized by the appearance of a compressed, non-obstructed lower renal moiety, which takes on a "drooping" or displaced appearance due to ...
