Ectopic ureter
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
Ectopic ureter (or ureteral ectopia) is a medical condition where the ureter, rather than terminating at the urinary bladder, terminates at a different site.[1][2]
It can be associated with renal dysplasia[3] and frequent urination.[4]
