A ureterocele is a congenital abnormality found in the ureter. In this condition called ureteroceles the distal ureter balloons at its opening into the bladder forming a sac-like pouch. It is most often associated with a duplicated collection system where two ureters drain their respective kidney instead of one. Simple ureteroceles where the condition involves only a single ureter represents only twenty percent of cases.
