Resumo

The purpose of this case report is to relate our experience with the challenges in the management of this extremely rare case. Our report is on an 18-year-old girl who presented with dribbling of urine per vagina since birth. Her voiding pattern was paradoxical. Clinical examination only revealed pooling of urine in the vaginal vault. A suspected diagnosis of a duplicated collecting system with ectopic left ureteral implantation was made following computed tomography (CT) urography. She had upper pole left ureteral tapering and reimplantation. A duplicated collecting system can be asymptomatic. Urinary incontinence in a young patient with associated urinary sepsis should arouse suspicion of this condition. The patient regained continence after the surgery.
