Introduction

• Embryological anomaly.
• Cause: cystic dilation of portion of ureter running intramurally within bladder wall.
• Signs: leads to narrow ureteric opening/urine pressure builds up/bulging of bladder mucosa.
• Associated with ectopic ureter Ureter: ectopic.
• Can cause dysuria.
• Diagnosis: radiography, ultrasonography.
• Treatment:surgical drainage.
• Prognosis:guarded if symptomatic.

Pathogenesis

Etiology

• Embryological anomaly: cystic dilation of portion of ureter running within bladder wall → ureteric opening/urine pressure build up/bulging of bladder mucosa.

Pathophysiology

• May be associated with other congenital urinary tract abnormalities.

Timecourse

• Usually recognized in young animal if symptomatic.
